East Riding schools celebrate St George's day

Each school will receive a selection of posters with some schools also displaying cardboard kings and queens and inflatable dragons in their dining areas. On the menu is a traditional dinner of roast chicken and stuffing, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots. For dessert is St George's cake with chocolate fudge topping. Themed days are classed as a treat rather than the norm and do not have to comply with the food based and nutrient based standards. Catering manager Helen Sheehy said: "The strict nutrient standards we have to follow have impacted on the popularity of school meals. Our cooks are passionate about what they do and they provide a good service. We want to create more positive public awareness."
