Running from 22nd September to 7th October and now in its sixth 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 Nationwide, Budgens and ARAMARK and features the British Food Fortnight ‘Cook for Life’ Challenge sponsored by Kenwood. It is supported by over 45 organisations including Brakes, Compass Group, Guild of Q Butchers,  National Farmers’ Union and VisitBritain.

NEW THIS YEAR

This year for the first time, all the major supermarkets and all medium-sized retailers are being invited to run British food promotions during the event, restaurants, pubs, tourism attractions, hospitals and staff canteens will again be putting the best of British on their menus and retailers, farmers and producers are also signing up to participate.

Furthermore, organisations representing over 9,000 chefs have volunteered to take part  in the event’s initiative to get cooks and chefs working with schools to teach children how to cook signifying the stirrings of a major mass movement. This means that British Food Fortnight has already over-taken France’s long-running Semaine du Gout which sends chefs into French schools every October to teach children about the delights of their national cuisine.

All schools are being invited to bring chefs into the classroom to teach children how to prepare simple meals using the best of Britain’s in-season produce and to enter the British Food Fortnight ‘Cook for Life’ Challenge, sponsored by Kenwood, to find the school that incorporates cookery in the national curriculum in the most imaginative and innovative way.
