Lucky kids are dining on 'pub grub' for school dinner - after no-one applied for the job of their chef. St Just Primary School in Cornwall advertised a role of cook at the end of last year - but has received no applications.
But local pub chef Matthew Osborne has temporarily stepped in to stop the kids going hungry - and is cooking meals at the school and the kitchen at Commercial Pub. The last chef to work at the school was actually Matthew's wife Kelly - who handed in her notice as cook just before Christmas after finding employment elsewhere.
And despite the cost of living crisis the school has received no applications for the job as school chef. The Government is currently trying to introduce a series of schemes to encourage people back to work.
