 In 2000, school dinner provision was deregulated from local authority control, at which point Orrey and St Peter's decided to change the school lunches to a menu of local food, cooked from scratch.Previously, as cook-supervisor at St Peter's, Orrey had been obliged to serve such things as 'free-flow mince' which she described as being 'probably from 11 different cows in 11 different countries', and various breaded shapes of processed meat including pork hippos, chicken teddies and Turkey Twizzlers.Orrey's revised menu included healthier dishes such as vegetable crumble and homemade fishcakes, with organic milk and local pork from Gloucester Old Spot pigs; her approach to school food has been credited with inspiring Jamie Oliver's campaigning work on school meals.
