It has changed a lot over the years and many of these scenes show exciting fare such as Spanish food, and other European menus.
Or maybe you come from the days of semolina, chocolate sponge and custard and spotted dick which could be just as yummy back in the day.
Whatever your preference, here is your chance to share your memories of the school dinner experience.
Take a look and tell us more.
