Ours is a two week rolling menu with a different main meal every day. Jacket potatoes available everyday for those who don't want the main meal.

There's a main, a veggie option, then either jacket potato or pasta depending on the day and sandwiches which they get with all the sides from the main. Theres always something they'll choose. It's a 3 week menu.

I missed out the veggie option.

So ours offers three.

Some parents are really up in arms about it.

What are they up in arms about?!

Two week rolling menu.

Monday is vegetarian with two options, jacket potatoes and salad bar

Tuesday / Wednesday (roast dinner day) / Thursday one meat, one vegetarian, jacket potatoes and salad bar

Friday is fish Friday so fish, vegetarian, jacket potatoes and salad bar

I had to take Dts off school lunches when they ate jacket potato with cheese for half a term straight.
