It’s Wednesday afternoon and here at Hog roast caterer we are enjoying celebrating British food fortnight 2010 (18th of September – 3rd of October 2010.)
In todays blog we are giving you a chance to learn more about British food fortnight and why its important to us.
Every Autumn since the year 2002 the event has been held as a national celebration of our regional foods and drinks, and the health benefits of enjoying quality, fresh, seasonal produce.
Thousands of activities will take place across the country during British Food Fortnight 2010 including food and drink festivals, promotions, tastings and special menus in pubs, restaurants and shops. The aim is to encourage both consumers and caterers to learn more about British produce and its benefits and ultimately to choose to purchase local food and drinks.
Here at hog roast caterer we always support British food particularly local produce. We use local farmers for our meat. We also visit local farmers markets for fruits, vegetables and dairy products with are used for our side dishes, salads and sauces.
In our menus we always offer tasty seasonal fruits and vegetables and this time of year is one of the best as our local farmers markets are offering plums, Blackberries, Damsons, Pears, Beetroot, Aubergine, Cabbage, Celery, cucumber, Leeks, Runner beans and many other tasty seasonal treats.
