Education caterer Principals hosts Big Dig to launch vegetable planting scheme
Pupils, teachers and catering staff welcomed the deputy mayor of Bromley, Councillor Kevin Brooks, at the event where he carried out a ceremonial planting after lunch.
Patrick Harbour, director and co-founder of Harbour and Jones, which owns Principals, said: “The team has worked hard to establish a culture of food in our schools by growing produce and cooking alongside the children.
“We could not think of a more location than Warren Road, one of the largest primary schools in the borough of Bromley. It was a great honour to welcome the deputy mayor and we are so pleased with the terrific turn out.”
As part of the scheme, Principals provided Warren Road Primary School with plants including strawberry, lettuce and tomato. Fruit and vegetables grown in the scheme will be used as school meal ingredients.
