An Oxfordshire pub is serving school dinners to a nearby primary school.
The Crooked Billet, winner of the Waitrose Gastro Pub of the Year 2005, is working with teachers and pupils to create a healthy, locally-sourced, organic menu.
Stoke Row Church of England School, near Henley, now offers pupils dishes such as lamb casserole, chicken stir-fry and goat's cheese souffle for £2 a head.
Crooked Billet owner Paul Clerehugh said: 'I visited the school and only four out of 84 children were eating school dinners because they were from the council's central kitchens, barely warm and mostly from a tin.'
Clerehugh had to make a lot of changes to the pub to accommodate legislation for cooking school meals.
He said: 'I had to buy a new refrigeration system to store the food and I have to know every single ingredient to advise the school of any allergy risks.'
The school is only five minutes away and collects the meals from the pub in a minibus.
The Crooked Billet hasn't taken on any extra staff to cope with the work but no one seems to mind doing a little extra.
'It means a bit more work in the mornings but everyone is keen to help out and it's for a good cause,' Clerehugh added.
But he is frustrated that the Government charges VAT on school dinners, saying: 'I think its ridiculous the Government charges VAT on this.
'The pub is an important part of the community and so is the school, so I'll do all I can to help,' Clerehugh added.
