00:00We were invited to Milmhurst Prep in Eccleshall, Sheffield to try what they have described

00:05as the best school dinner in Sheffield.

00:08This term saw the school take on a new catering provider and head chef Andy Brooks, and as

00:13you can see he has brought quite a range to the school menu.

00:17Children can choose from a huge range of options every lunchtime.

00:21This includes hot foods and cold foods from the salad bar.

00:24The whole menu has also been approved by a nutritionalist so that children can keep energised

00:29throughout the day.

00:30Let's not forget the dessert, children can also choose from a number of sweet treats

00:34that have added vegetables to get them their 5 a day.

00:38Each year group is staggered into the food hall so that there is no fighting over tables.

00:43On the menu today was chicken fajitas, a very popular option for the kids.

00:48Sides included vegetables such as broccoli, sweet potato and much more.

00:54I had the vegetarian fajitas which was beans and roasted veg with a bit of guacamole.

01:00It really was tasty, dare I say better than I can cook.

01:04And for dessert there was apple crumble and custard.

01:07Chloe had the lemon and poppy seed cake with added courgette.

01:12Of course I had to find out what the real critics thought about the food.

01:22I spoke to 4 girls in year 5 called Hannah, Thea, Georgina and Paige and they gave it

01:27the thumbs up, especially for that wobbly jelly.

01:30I was so happy to hear that the kids are enjoying the new menu and trying new foods and having

01:34a bit of freedom about what they eat.

01:36And I can honestly say it was better than the lunches I cook myself.
