Chris Denny, from Suffolk County Catering, said: “We've found that many parents and carers like to know what's going to be on the menu.
“This new service will allow parents to be better informed as to what's being offered each day, helping them determine what to prepare in the evening or whether or not to have a school meal the following day.”
