Love British Food has unveiled ambitious plans for its 25th anniversary to unite the food supply chain and champion seasonal diversity and sustainable home-grown produce.

A training programme and series of celebrations builds momentum towards this year’s British Food Fortnight, which runs from 26th September to 11th October 2026.

Robinson said: “Over 25 years we’ve created a wonderful community across the industry who share our love and commitment to turn support for British producers into practical action.

“As the longest standing representative of food and farming on PSC Alliance, Love British Food has forged deep bonds with TUCO, NACC, HCA, and School Food People transforming menus and bridging the gap between farmers and the wider food supply chain. These are robust foundations on which to build.

“British Food Fortnight has become an established date on the calendar with thousands of schools, hundreds of care homes, leading universities and many NHS Trusts rejoicing every year. Through further collaboration with our partners, Food Heroes, working groups and change-maker programme, we are continuing our mission to inspire, enable, and support. Together, we can influence procurement decisions and increase the value we place on British food.” 

At the Royal Three Counties show on Friday 12th June, Love British Food is inviting a select group of public sector caterers to discover the heart of British farming and food.

This exclusive event includes breakfast, panel discussion featuring leading industry figures and a tour of the livestock lines. A not to be missed experience. Register your interest to attend.

Anita Brown, chair of the Public Sector Catering Alliance, commented: “Love British Food has played an important role over the past 25 years in championing the value of British produce and strengthening the connection between the people who produce our food and those who serve it every day in schools, hospitals and other public settings.

“Love British Food is embraced by public sector caterers across all services as not only a well-established brand but also for its encouragement of educating children on the importance of our brilliant farmers and the importance of British food from farm to fork.

“Public sector caterers feed millions of people each week, so the decisions they make about sourcing food have a real impact across the supply chain. Initiatives like Love British Food help highlight the importance of supporting British farmers and producers while also celebrating the quality and provenance of the food served on public sector menus and inspiring collaboration right across the sector.”

Continuing to grow the cohort of 214 change-makers, this year’s on-farm training day takes place at Madresfield Estate on 9th September. Caterers will have the chance to explore the historic farming estate and discuss opportunities to source British food on menus through shared insight and learnings. Sign up here.

Iain Robertson, national chair of the HCA added: “The Hospital Caterers Association proudly supports the ambitions of Love British Food in their 25th anniversary year. It has never been more important for the sector to support British farmers, growers and producers to help us meet our sustainability goals, provide nutritious food and support local economies.”

Alexia Robinson will also be spreading the Love British Food message at events such as Future Countryside at Raby Castle, Land Alive at Bath & West Showground in the autumn.
