“British Food Fortnight is an ideal catalyst for finding new suppliers and sourcing more sustainably. Hospitals, schools and staff restaurants putting British on the menu during the event have proved it is possible to source locally.”
Mark Holmes, ADAS, who helped Sheffield Teaching Hospitals source locally as part of the White Rose Red Meat Initiative. |

For the first time the NHS, schools and many major Government departments are taking part |
|

|
The NHS, schools and Government departments including the Cabinet Office, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Department for Transport, the Department for Work and Pensions, HM Revenue and Customs and the Treasury rose to the challenge and put British food on their menus during the Fortnight.
The menus included classic British dishes including Toad-in-the-Hole and Steak and Kidney Pie and a range of British sandwiches all made with British ingredients.
British fruit and vegetables featured prominently to help employees “Just Eat More (Fruit & Veg)”, as the Department for Health encourages us all to do. Employees at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport were served Sticky Toffee English Apples as a special treat!
The young were not left out! Children's wards in many NHS hospitals received a free delivery of English apples from the Total Produce Group; patients in maternity and children's wards of hospitals in the North East were offered award-winning fruit yoghurts from Embleton Hall, County Durham; and pupils in schools in Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Essex, Telford & Wrekin, and East London were served all British menus and encouraged to think about where the food they eat comes from by their council's catering teams.
