In addition to the seasonal ‘Love of Local’ menu, which will be available at 192 sites across the country, Sodexo UK and Ireland will also be launching video content highlighting the fact that 71% of the organisation’s supply chain is sourced in Britain (subject to seasonal variation).
This year marks the 22nd anniversary of British Food Fortnight, the biggest event supporting British produce and involving almost every part of British life, from school and local communities to workplaces.
Sodexo, as an official partner of Love British Food – the founders of British Food Fortnight – is drawing on the organisation’s aim to raise awareness about the benefits of locally grown produce for its new, bespoke menu. Sodexo’s specially developed British Food Fortnight dishes will champion the diverse and delicious foods that different regions across Britain have to offer.
Full of local ingredients, the range includes well-loved classics such as chicken, bacon and leek cottage pie with Savoy cabbage, hearty, slow-cooked autumn pork roast, crispy pork sausages with creamy vegetable mash and sage-roasted apple, as well as a traditional Yorkshire pudding wrap with pulled beef.
The ‘Love of Local’ range also includes much-loved traditional puddings including apple & blackberry crumble and chocolate bread & butter pudding.
The dishes will be available across 192 client sites in Britain where Sodexo serves its Modern Recipe and Kitchen Works Co. offers.
In addition to the Love of Local menu, Sodexo is also this week unveiling new video content designed to make the viewer extremely hungry, whilst showcasing an A-Z of food the business sources in Britain. It includes the important message that 71% of its supply chain is sourced in Britain, with seasonal variations.
Charles Abraham, Food Platform Director, Sodexo, said:
Sodexo has a special place within the Love British Food community as David Mulcahy, Food Innovation & Sustainability Director, was the first person in the food services sector to support us when we started the campaign.
Sodexo truly understands the value of quality, home-produced British food, as shown in the new A-Z film released for British Food Fortnight.
From its flagship work at major sporting and entertainment venues to its menus in workplaces and schools, it continues to play an influential role in food service in this country.
We are absolutely delighted that Sodexo is an official partner of Love British Food, and we look forward to working with them for many years ahead.
