Most schools have lunch about 1:00 pm after morning classess. Some may have lunch a little earlier. The boarding schools all have dining rooms providing cooked meals. The food, seating arrangements, and other matters vary from school to school. The situation is a little more varied at day schools. Some have dining rooms also, but the children at many day schools bring bag lunches. There are varing approaches to supervising the lunch period at the different schools. On nice days the children may have impromtu picnics. Other schools have the children eat indoors. Of course during the Winter and on days with inclemate weather they have to ear indoors.
The new boy who asked the teacher at the end of the lunch table, "Who is that man who keeps ringing the bell and stops us talking."
The Wheasheaf (Pownall Hall), 1980.
I like fish and chips, and jelly and mouse are my favourite puddings. I don't like lunches much though. I hate salad and meatloaf it's grouse.
Damien Millns, Great Walstead Magazine 1987.
School dinners are lovely -- mince and pasta. At Christmas, we get Christmas pudding with money in it. We get Christmas lunch and you feel sick after.
Paul Easton, Great Walstead Magazine 1987.
A special feature of the School is the food, which is of the very best quality. The menus are varied and erll-ballanced, the value of which cannot be too highly emphasised, as it lays the foundation of future good health. The boys are provided with three substantial cooked meals a day, Breakfast, Lunch and Supper, with a 'Snack Tea' and milk in mid-afternoon. Breakfast consists f porridge or cereal with cooked dish and bread, butter, marmalade, milk or tea. Lunch is always two main cooked courses; Supper consists of one main cooked dish with plenty of bread, butter, jam or honey, with milk to drink. The Boarders can have birthday parties choosing their own menu. Special diets for health reasons are also catered for.
