Restaurants, Cafes & Bars
Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight highlights the wealth of
produce on offer to consumers and encourages the food industry -
from restaurants to retailers and caterers - to source and champion
quality Scottish produce in order to raise awareness of and support
the people who produce our food and drink.
The aim of the Fortnight is to encourage people to discover, buy
and enjoy the food and drink produced on their doorstep, building
Scotland's reputation for excellent quality produce. Sales of
Scottish brands have risen 22% since 2007 and we aim to support
continual growth. In addition, recent research shows that named
ingredients of local provenance command a premium with
consumers.
Downloadable promotional material is available from the Materials section of this
website. It includes posters of various designs in A3 and A4
format, shelf barkers and stickers. The logo is also available for
use by request. To register an event, for more information or to
discuss your involvement next year, contact sophie.fraser@scotlandfoodanddrink.org.
There are countless ways to support the Fortnight. Suggestions
include:
- Highlight locally sourced produce on your menu naming the
producers
- Offer a themed Scottish menu for the fortnight, using only
Scottish produce
- Create an exclusive cook school evening using a local chef.
Charge for admission but give guests delicious meals to take
home
- Run a recipe competition for customers to create a dish using
Scottish ingredients. Produce the dish in the restaurant for one
night only
