British Food Fortnight - Advice for Caterers

Our Sponsors

Caterers

British Food Fortnight is an established promotion for pubs, restaurants, tourism attractions and food service organisations. Those that have taken part in previous years include five of the largest food service organisations, led by ARAMARK, four major pub groups, three of the main tourism organisations and the leading chef and catering associations.

Many enhance their menus with British produce during the event and some run special menus featuring regional food and drink.

This year, for the first time, the event is focusing in particular on public procurement: the NHS, Ministry of Defence, prison service and all Government departments will be challenged to join the national celebration and put British on their menus during the event.

Work with schools - your customers of the future

In addition to the commercial reasons for taking part in British Food Fortnight, we invite you to use the national celebration as an opportunity to be proactive in educating young people about British food.

In the build up to the Fortnight, over 30,000 schools in the UK are being given information on incorporating cookery and food-related topics into their curriculum teaching and they are being advised to seek help from local retailers and chefs to achieve this. So, chances are there is a school waiting to hear from YOU!

The best people to make the young aware of the diverse and delicious food that Britain has to offer are those who sell and cook it.

Many caterers organise activities for schools every year during British Food Fortnight.
