Local food is simply the best

May 30 2003

IF YOUR local pub serves local produce, then now is your chance to reward it!

The Countryside Alliance's Campaign for Honest Food has launched Local to Locals, a competition to celebrate local produce and encourage pub visitors to take more interest in the food they eat.

Visitors are asked to find out how much local produce is served and, if they are satisfied the pub is supporting local producers, can nominate the pub for an award. An over-all winner will be announced later in the summer and a winner will also be picked for each region of the UK.

The competition, which was first run in 2001, seeks to promote and support local producers and suppliers through raising awareness of the benefits of seasonal and local produce. It is only consumers, either directly or through the pubs they eat and drink at, who can keep the food producers of this country in business.

We need to show the Government that there is a great demand for locally produced food in this country and that British really is best. Nomination cards are now available from the Countryside Alliance at the address below, or at www.countryside-alliance.org/honestfood/
