Uphill Primary School invited parents to eat lunch at the school from Monday-Friday one week, giving them the chance to try for themselves what their children eat.

More than 30 parents turned up to enjoy the lunches during the week.

A spokesman for the school said the feedback was very positive and that there were no complaints over the quality of the food.
