Primary school students eat lunch in a pub

Pupils at a British primary school have started having their meals in a pub.

The move at Ravenstonedale School, Cumbria, north west England, has come as part of the education facility's 'Try it Friday' initiative, which has seen the 27 students walk to their local Black Swan pub to eat their £2.25 meals on Fridays.

The school has also tried several other new initiatives including dispensing with plastic school dinner trays and using pub crockery instead.

Black Swan chef Kevin Hillyer is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: “It’s scandalous kids all over the country are eating off plastic crockery.”
