Spring is in full swing, and everything feels fresh and new again. So why not freshen up the menu too? In the third week of April, our Gastro Calendar gives a familiar favourite a lighter spin.
You guessed it – we’re talking about spaghetti Bolognese. This usually quite hearty dish has been lightened up: instead of beef, little diners will find African catfish in their favourite sauce, rich in unsaturated fats and vitamin D. A perfect springtime reset after all that Easter chocolate.
Nature is waking up, everything’s turning green, and Easter is just around the corner – hooray! Let’s bring spring and its favourite holiday into our school canteens. In the third week of March, our Gastro Calendar will serve up a delicious Easter-inspired treat.
What does a colourful Easter spring look like on a plate? Think chicken drumsticks roasted with fragrant spring herbs, served with pea-studded bulgur and glazed carrots. The freshness of spring meets Easter abundance in a dish that brightens the day with colour – and leaves everyone happily full.
February doesn’t have to be short, grey or boring. After all, it’s the height of the Shrovetide carnival season – so why not bring a bit of that celebration into the school canteen? Brighten up the winter mood with a Gastro Calendar meal that’s as colourful and playful as a carnival!
Welcome to the new year! In 2026, we’ll continue to explore global cuisine in Primirest canteens as part of our Gastro Calendar. And we’re kicking things off in January with a Swedish classic that many of us can’thelp but associate with a visit to a certain popular furniture store.
In the third week of the month, our menus will feature köttbullar, Swedish meatballs, served with a smooth and sweet cranberry cream sauce, steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. A perfect winter dish from one of the toughest nations in Europe when it comes to cold weather!
All children love Christmas. But not all of them love carp, and even fewer are keen on potato salad. Still, fish belongs on the traditional Czech festive table, and this December, our Gastro Calendar is giving the favourite fish fillet with mash a tasty upgrade.
In the third week of the month, the menu features Christmas cod with lemon sauce, buttery mashed peas and crispy roast potatoes. A festive treat every little Christmas fan is sure to enjoy!
A lot of children have a simple equation in their heads: wholegrain = healthy = not so tasty. And while a bit of extra fibre is never a bad thing, wholegrain dishes can be seriously delicious too. That’s why this November, our Gastro Calendar is serving up a school dinner classic – with a wholegrain twist.
In the third week of the month, the menu features roast pork with wholegrain barley risotto, mixed with carrots and peas and served with roasted pumpkin. Pork with generic brown sauce and rice? That’s yesterday’s news.
