bruno22rf Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thunderbird-hate to rain on your parade but will you give us an update in a years time? Methinks your opinion may have changed by then (along with the quality/choice)-these schemes start off well to get numbers interested.

Just happens to be our turn to go in for a tasting because he moves up from pre-school to main school this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziplex Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm 48......I simply can't be ***** to work out the years when I was eating 'school dinners' but I have to say they were great. We had a monitor at each table of 8 who designated who went and collected the grub and who served. It was all quite relaxed and without issues..I really enjoyed virtually all of them including......... tongue :blink: pilchard salad with mash :look: all roasts chocolate steam pudding with mint custard minced beef with pieces of fried bread various cobblers a sort of pie that had what looked like cat food under the lid of pastry but tasted fine I could go on, but 'back in the day' when a dinner ticket cost 12 1/2 pence for a main and a desert it was simply lovely and I enjoyed them all....happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 One final thought for the people slagging off school dinners as with everything in life with time standards drop if people are not watched if the meals are not very good complain complain complain if everyone did they would do something about it apathy kills everything.

shaun4860 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 My school dinners were best from '68 to '73 Cant remember them before then and stopped using school canteen when we moved up here in Aug '73 '68 to '73 were at 2 schools in Norfolk, Buxton junior and Aylsham secondary. cracking meals cooked on site, with tables of 8, 1 server, 1 "waiter" who went and collected the larger containers to divide amongst the table. from what i recall they tasted delicious Can I also add Aylsham was the best school I ever attended. Teachers that cared, facilities second to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I was ann RAF brat born in the 50's, so while we were overseas, we got the same meals as the serving airmen, great stuff for a young lad - spam fritters, roast beef so tender it crumbled, proper sticky puddings with lashings of custard, good stuff. When we came back in the late 60's and I went to a civvy school, the food was ok apart from the veg, which was boiled to death and more like soup! I went very quickly on to sandwiches though, because in those days, juniors had to serve the meals for the prefects etc, and they really loved making you eat all the cr4p they hated and giving you lines if you didn't finish it!
