Hackney, London’s pub, The Pembury Tavern, recently participated in the initiative to provide free school meals for kids over half-term, offering free pizza for local families who needed it, no questions asked.
Inspired by Marcus Rashford’s continued efforts to ensure no kids go hungry who normally receive free school meals – and despite Labour’s bid to extend free school meals beyond term time having been rejected by MPs – Pembury Tavern were one of thousands of restaurants nationwide who stepped up to fill those plates.
