Document: A tempting Christmas feast - and not the one being referred to

A school in West Sussex has apologized later pictures of an unappetising Christmas lunch turned into a web sensation via web-based media.

Steyning Grammar School and Sixth Form College said it would discount the expense of the dinner as guardians griped that the food was not worth the £ 3.50 they had been charged.

The understudies were served a white bap finished off with a cut of turkey and a solitary pig-in-cover, alongside a square shape of stuffing and a shop-purchased mince pie.

Ciaran Walsh, whose two little girls go to the school, took to Twitter to share a photo of the feast taken by his oldest girl. In his tweet to Bohunt Education Trust, which runs the school, he stated: "A debt of gratitude is in order for the Christmas lunch served to our children at Steyning Grammar yesterday, truly filled them with bubbly cheer!"

"The impression I got was that the vast majority of this stuff went in the container. For a large portion of the children, there was this feeling of incredulity that that is the thing that they got," he was cited by The Guardian as saying.

He added: "You need your children to have the best and Christmas is the point at which a unique feast is important for that, and this wasn't exceptional in the correct way."

Another parent, Melanie Leogue, told the Mid Sussex Times that the kids "had nothing last year and it's a disgrace the school didn't put forth a greater amount of an attempt for them as they have had it so intense".

Individuals remarking on the web hammered the school and contrasted the merry feast with "appalling jail style looking food".
