Running from 19th September to 4th October 2009 and now in its eighth year, British Food Fortnight is the biggest national celebration of the diverse and delicious range of food that Britain produces. 

Hailed by The Observer newspaper as "The fast-growing umbrella organisation for all aspects of food is  British Food Fortnight" BFF is certainly going from strength to strength and with the abundance of excellent foods produced and cooked in the UK quite rightly !

British Food Fortnight is sponsored by Budgens, ARAMARK and the Department of Health’s 5 A DAY Just Eat More (fruit & veg) programme and features the British Food Fortnight ‘Cook for Life’ Challenge sponsored by Kenwood. It is supported by over 60 organisations led by Brakes, Country Markets, National Farmers’ Union, National Trust, Sodexo, Tenant Farmers Association, Young’s pubs and Youth Hostel Association.

NEW THIS YEAR FOR BRITISH FOOD FORTNIGHT

This year British Food Fortnight is challenging schools to use British seasonal food to design and cook a meal that contains a healthy balance of the food groups the body needs (carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre, minerals, vitamins) and contains at least two portions that count towards our 5 A DAY.

The Department of Health is again using the event’s activities to promote the importance of its 5 A DAY Just Eat More (fruit & veg) message to schools and parents. Look out for information about the event in deliveries through the School Fruit & Vegetable Scheme.
