Have you had a great meal out with your children on a day trip this summer? Found somewhere serving really tasty, healthy dishes in child-sized portions? Or have you been disappointed with the food on offer?
Our chairman, Rob Rees, believes that many places families visit could learn a lot about making good food for children – on a budget – from the example of school kitchens. You can read his interview with the Sunday Telegraph here.
Below you can download a template letter that you can send to places you’ve visited for a day out this summer, if you’d like to see them improve their food for children.
Even while school’s out, the good food made in school kitchens can still give you lots of inspiration for holiday meal times.
