  • Q. What were your main reasons for applying for the healthyliving award?
  • A. We wanted our kids to make healthier food choices around their games and training schedules and we knew this would only be possible if the food on offer was not only healthier but exciting and tasty.
  • Q. Has working towards and achieving the award been worthwhile?
  • A. Working towards this has been so worthwhile; the best bit for us is that the kids have embraced the new menu and they love it. Receiving the healthyliving award is down to them accepting the changes we’ve made – we’re so proud of them.
  • Q. Would you recommend the healthyliving award to other caterers?
  • A. Absolutely! We proudly display our award for visiting teams to see and we would recommend all sports clubs go for it. After all, good nutrition is the foundation of healthy, happy children as well as winners.
