Ans the Local Authority Caterers Association is supporting at a national level.
NHS
NHS Trusts are organising British Food Fortnight menus in hospitals across the country. The chair of the Hospital Food Review who also leads on food as part of the NHS England Improvement Programme is encouraging NHS catering managers to celebrate British produce in staff and visitor areas and on patient menus.
Universities
The University Caterers Organisation (TUCO) is encouraging its members to create special menus using British ingredients and to highlight British food on student menus. Fresher’s Week coincides with the Fortnight in many universities so it is the perfect time to celebrate.
Care homes
Hundreds of care homes are taking part as they do every year. British Food Fortnight is hugely popular with residents. Special menus and lots of fun activities are planned.
