THROWBACK: Delicious Chinese-inspired menu for Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, holds  cultural significance for billions around the globe.

Celebrating World Book Day with the Kitchen Team at St Peter’s School

World Book Day is a celebration of authors, illustrators, books, and most importantly, reading. The day is meant to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own. Our fabulous kitchen team at St Peter’s School took part in celebrating the magic of literature by dressing up as book characters while preparing and serving lunch.

It’s wonderful to have a team that makes dining a fun experience for all!
