SCHOOL lunches in prim-ary schools in Cheshire will rise by 10p to £1.90 in September.
The county council says pupils eating a two-course meal with larger portions and a wide range of menus in high schools will be charged £2.05.
The first course is a home cooked meal accom-panied by unlimited vege-tables and salad and for a second course, a tradition-al pudding or fruit and yoghurt, and come with a choice of fresh fruit juice or semi-skimmed milk.
“We all know how food and fuel costs continue to rise which makes it inevit-able the price of a school meal will increase,” said David Rowlands, executive member for children’s services. He added: “How-ever, CBS Catering works hard to keep costs down.
“Cheshire has always charged the same price for secondary school meals as for primary school meals, but this is changing be-cause portions are larger and the range is wider.”
