Robin Hood swapped his crossbow for cutlery yesterday to join pupils at a Bestwood school for a lunch being held in his honour.

The Robin Hood School in Bestwood Park organised the Robin Hood-themed lunch as part of National School Meals Week which celebrates the hard work of school catering teams across the country.

During the meal Tim Pollard, Nottingham’s official Robin Hood, shared stories with pupils between courses and also met catering staff who worked hard to prepare the celebratory lunch.

Local Food for Life Programme Manager Kate Shaw said: “It has been extremely encouraging to work with Nottingham City Council during National School Meals Week to promote school meals and the important role that they play in schools across the city.”

Councillor Nicola Heaton, Portfolio Holder for Community Services, said: “The quality and source of food in our school meals is very important to us, and working with Food for Life provides us with the support to deliver the highest standards in our schools. We are looking forward to working with them further to achieve the Silver Catering Mark in our schools by the end of this year.”
