Primary school pupils eat lunch in local pub

Pint-sized pupils are heading to the pub for lunch every day – because their school has no kitchen.

The 77 children at North Newton Primary School, near Bridgwater, Somerset, are taken across the road by teachers to the Harvest Moon.



They enjoy a menu including roast dinners, curry and toad-in-the-hole followed by puddings and fruit.

The children eat in an area separate from adult drinkers before returning to school for afternoon lessons.

Pub landlady Helen Edwards, a former pupil at the school, provides a two-course lunch for £1.70, helped by a Government subsidy of 21p a pupil.
