How did you celebrate this year?
Love British Food Fortnight this year fell into a strange period, a few weeks earlier we gained a new Prime Minister and lost our beloved Queen. As there had already been so much uncertainty and disruption to the lives of young people due to the earlier events that month, we decided to celebrate the fortnight with two of our most loved British dishes: Roast Dinner and Fish and Chips, both of which are popular with pupils across our schools.
Which suppliers did you use?
Our suppliers are local to the Blackpool and Lancashire area, Trevor’s being on our doorstep in Blackpool and Ribble Farm Fare based in Longridge.
What we plan to improve on next year
We will ensure that we work with the kitchens and SLT teams in the schools in the summer term to prepare for British Food Fortnight the following September, meaning those first few transition weeks for schools can go ahead, with schools knowing that exciting preparations are in place ready to integrate Love British Food Fortnight into their curriculum.
Tips for other schools wanting to take part
As Love British Food Fortnight often falls around Harvest Festival when younger children to learn about Harvest, it is an idea to extend the topic area to cover this too – it’s an excellent opportunity for school communities to get together and share their love for British Food.
