English Food & Drink Fortnight

A Taste Of England – 18th September-3rd October 2010

The biggest national celebration of the diverse & delicious range of food & drink that England produces.

The aim of the campaign is to increase awareness of the health benefits - & pleasures – of eating quality, fresh, seasonal & regional produce, and it is the perfect opportunity to sample the very best of what England has to offer.

Choosing English means supporting British farmers whose work helps to keep the countryside the way we want it to look: no sheep or cows = no countryside !

English food also travels less far from farm to shop so it has a lower carbon footprint.

Our English products are all highlighted on the shelves with red & white livery – so LOOK OUT FOR THE SIGNS and BUY the best food and drinks that are made in ENGLAND !
