This year’s British Food Fortnight saw the biggest ever promotion of British food on our shores with more tastings, special menus and activities taking place in shops, pubs and restaurants across the country.

British Food Fortnight continues to be the largest volunteer movement educating children about food. Schools using the Fortnight as an opportunity to teach children how to cook were joined by the event’s network of 9,000 chefs and retailers, who helped teach children to shop beyond the sweetie shelves.

All the information on how to enjoy British food throughout the year and details of what happened during this year’s event are on this website.
