Friday Night Dinner!

Friday Night Dinner is back!  This time its Year 4 pupils who have 90 minutes to cook a meal for 50 people.  We adore this project and love teaming up with The Hungry Guy Chef Steve Guy and the Shrewsbury Food Hub.

What’s it all about? 12 brilliant Year 4 pupils, saving surplus food from being wasted, cooking a meal from scratch and creating a restaurant for all their families who join us at 5pm for dinner.

The children chop, prep, cook, lay the table, write the menu, arrange the flowers, clean down, serve, wait and finally enjoy the fruits of their labour with staff and families.

The Pasta Pomodoro with garlic bread and salad was delicious!

This project should be nation wide in every school across the country because what it achieves in 2 hours is extraordinary!  Learning about hospitality & careers, building skills, independence, team work, boosting self-esteem and accomplishment and bringing a community together to share food and celebrate these amazing children.  There is always a lot of love and laughter in the room.
