Considered one of the most established awareness events in the hospitality and catering sector, hundreds of schools, universities, pubs, restaurants, shops, hospitals and care homes have taken part in the British Food Fortnight campaign over the years.
From 26th September to 12th October 2025, Olive Dining will be promoting a number of activities and events across the schools they work with, each designed to teach students about the food grown and produced in the local community.
To mark the start of British Food Fortnight, Olive Dining co-founders Stephanie Spratt and Chris Whitter visited one of their local suppliers, Watts Farm in Kent, showcasing their longstanding commitment to supporting British agriculture and sustainable sourcing.
Olive Dining will also be running a competition for students to win a British food hamper. The school catering specialist ran a special Love British Food themed menu on Tuesday 30th September across a number of primary and secondary schools in London and the South East.
Spratt commented: “Our mission has always been to provide children and young people with nutritious, healthy food whilst supporting British farmers and produce, so getting involved in this campaign was a no-brainer. Each of the activities and events we’ve created have been designed to educate and excite young people about the importance of local produce, sustainability and the heritage of British farming.
“Not only is British Food Fortnight a fantastic way to educate students about where their food comes from but also a great opportunity to bring communities together through shared dining experiences, offering homegrown dishes using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.”
