Northumberland game pie, celeriac, potato and rosemary gratin, or roast lamb with mint sauce.
That’s a typical lunchtime menu at Excelsior Academy in Newcastle upon Tyne, which last week won a prestigious food competition for its mouth-watering school dinners.
The school was named Best Public Caterer at the BBC Food and Farming Awards at Birmingham’s NEC.
Described by television chef Jamie Oliver as “the Oscars of the food world”, the awards showcase some of the UK’s most exciting food producers, with categories ranging from Best Takeaway to Best Food Market.
Lyndsey Anderson has been head of catering at Excelsior Academy since the school opened four years ago.
