Lunch time
At Lunch time, Little Prestfelde pupils head over to the school Dining Room to enjoy a delicious homecooked lunch. Lunchtime is earlier for Little Prestfelde, so that the children can enjoy eating with their teachers and friends in a calm, quiet environment.
Lunchtime isn't just about enjoying the freshly prepared food provided by Chef and his team, it is also about learning table manners and how to help others sitting at the table. Sharing the fresh bread basket and helping themselves and others to a drink of fresh water, every experience is teaching the children something new.
Learning through taste
Just like everywhere in Prestfelde, the Dining Room is another opportunity for the children to learn. Themed lunches are a much loved part of eating at Prestfelde. Supporting what is being learnt in the classroom, or celebrated in Chapel, Chef and his team integrate topics and themes into the menu. From Chinese New Year through to Mexican Day, the children all love to get involved and take full advantage of trying out new food, tastes and textures.
Eat the Seasons: Taster Table
Using locally sourced, seasonal food, Chef prepares a weekly Taster Table, to allow the children to taste food they may not have tried before. Small bites of delicious food combinations, the pupils all get the opportunity to try some of the finest produce that Shropshire has to offer. Each week is different, so keep checking the website to see what treats are being served!
Chef and Prestfelde's Kitchen Team
We know that some of our Little Prestfelde pupils prefer their food items separated on their plate, so for the little ones, everything is served separately...deconstructed Shepherd's Pie is a speciality!
Frequently Asked Questions
Fishy Fridays!
Continuing the tradition for Fish & Chips Friday, that has been a treat for many years at Prestfelde, the children all look forward to the fresh fish of the week with a helping of chips and vegetables to end the week on. The jacket potato bar runs alongside this for those that prefer something different.
The Mars Bar cakes are the best cakes in the world. My Dad always looks forward to having one when he comes to watch me in Celebration Chapel!"
