Why is sourcing British Food important to you?


We are proud to work closely with local farms and food suppliers to ensure that patients and visitors alike get to enjoy the freshest seasonal produce. We’ve been finalists in the national Love British Food competition and are very proud to dedicate our time to sourcing locally grown produce which ensures that we are providing our patients with the best, good quality nutrition. 


What did you do for British Food Fortnight?

 

Internal promotions to teams about the catering service so they gained an understanding of where the produce / ingredients they use comes from, along with how much we use and why we use particular local suppliers. This is a great way of getting the message across to patients and staff, along with inside the patient menu booklet there is a map (pictured below) showing how much of our food is sourced within the area.
