Students at Sheldon School, Chippenham were treated to a visit from celebrity chef, Paul Rankin who has been working with Sodexo, the school’s caterer, for some 15 years. The visit was organised to open the new dining room at the school, called The Diner.
The school council was heavily involved with the design which is based on an American diner theme with red leather seating and high level tables. The Diner is one of five catering areas at the school
On arrival, Paul met with the sixth form DT: Food Technology students before hosting and judging a year 11 ready, steady, cook challenge which saw two teams compete. Paul then joined Sodexo staff to serve students lunch in the new look dining room before going on to judge the year 8 cake decorating competition. The quality of the entries prompted Paul to show his appreciation via Twitter where he posted a photo of some of the entries, http://bit.ly/IHhJIe.
