British Food Fortnight

From the 21st September to the 6th October it is British Food Fortnight (BFF) here in the UK.

This celebration of British food happens every year, with the focus being on celebrating the harvest and all the amazing food that it produces.

The first British Food Fortnight was held in 2002 as a modern day harvest festival. The aim was to reinvigorate this national celebration which was quickly dying out.

If you live in the UK there are many ways you can get involved and help celebrate; such as making the effort to shop at local grocers, butchers and farm shops (if you don't already), or perhaps getting your local community together to enjoy a feast of all the British food produced in your local area.

If you live outside the UK there are still ways you can support BFF. Why not introduce some of your non British friends to your favourite British meals? You can order all of the ambient ingredients through us, and many of you can also order from our chilled range, including homemade and locally produced cakes, pies, meats and cheeses.

You can also show your support via Twitter by downloading their specially designed 'Twibbon', as well as posters and stickers.

All the details are on the BFF website, so have a read and decide how you want to get involved!
