This collaboration highlights BonCulina UK’s commitment to supporting British farmers, growers and the use of sustainable, high-quality, homegrown ingredients across its services, particularly in the healthcare sector.
Andy Jones, director & head of service development at BonCulina UK, said: “As a proud founding ambassador of Love British Food, and coming from a farming background, I have always felt strongly about supporting British farmers and showcasing the amazing quality of food that our growers and producers offer.
“With this partnership, we reinforce our mission to provide the very best meals to those we serve in the public sector - patients, the elderly, children and staff. By incorporating British produce, we ensure that our foodservice menus not only taste great but also align with our sustainability goals.”
BonCulina says it is proud to buy British beef, venison, pork, potatoes, milk, cheese, cream, eggs, fruit and vegetables supporting the nation’s farms. These ingredients form the backbone of its offerings to public sectors, including NHS hospitals, where quality and nutrition are key to patient recovery and well-being.
Alexia Robinson, founder and chief executive of Love British Food, added: “Working with their healthcare business will enhance significantly the work we do with the NHS, promoting quality, nutritious, sustainably produced British food as key to enabling positive patient outcomes.
“Thirty hospitals are taking part in British Food Fortnight; BonCulina brings a further 120 NHS sites into our activities. This is the reach we have long sought to achieve Love British Food’s objectives in the NHS. We look forward to them joining our Hospital Working Group and our partnership going forward."
With the ethos of 'For Patients, By Patients,' BonCulina UK remains focused on sustainability, working to reduce its carbon footprint and promote environmentally responsible practices across its operations.
By using locally sourced British produce, BonCulina is contributing to the health of its customers and the planet, while also strengthening the local food economy.
