School dinners or packed lunch in reception?

My little boy is due to start school in September. If your child is in reception, do the majority of the class eat school dinners?

I've been hearing generally in the news about the state of school dinners - not great food, small portion size etc and wondering if packed lunches were going to be better. He isn’t super fussy but doesn’t particularly like saucey things etc or chicken so wouldn’t want him to just end up picking the plain bread or pasta option every day.

Yes this is what worries me and the one featured in the news lately is the same provider the school uses 😬

My best advice would be go for the jacket potatos and fish on Fridays as that's never too bad from what I've seen! 🙂
