Beautiful writing about delicious British food. Articles, comments and musings from our contributors.

The staff at Milton Keynes University Hospital were all eager to get involved with the celebrations for British Food Fortnight.  Two weeks’ worth of traditional themed British meals were prepared, along with a special “cook to order” Yorkshire pudding wrap on the live cook station which was very popular. 

What are your plans for next year’s British Food Fortnight? 


Francesco Fiore, catering manager commented


“We aim to do similar thing next year with a few added ideas, such as having some suppliers visit the trust with a live, in-house fruit and veg stall. We are very much looking forward to taking part again next year, and I think we may even add a live cooking demonstration!” 


Why should other hospital trusts take part?


“I would encourage other trusts to take part as it is a great way to celebrate some of our favourite meals and work closely with suppliers to use British farmed foods.”


A couple of highlights from the British food menu:

Monday –Broccoli and stilton quiche served with locally produced vegetables.

Thursday – Cottage pie served with vegetables and salad.
