Our thanks also go to those members who contributed to the first edition of this guide.
The first edition of the Nutrition Guide is aimed at providing chefs and catering managers with the practical guidance and support they need to deliver healthy, nutritious dishes across their menus.
The hospitality sector has made, and continues to make, significant strides in supporting healthier eating – whether through offering lower-calorie options, increasing fibre content, or incorporating more fruit and vegetables into dishes. In the context of changing consumer eating habits and growing expectations around health and wellbeing, hospitality businesses have had to continually adapt their offering, while still delivering the high-quality, delicious food and memorable experiences that customers expect.
Across our incredibly diverse sector, businesses of all sizes are innovating and responding to these challenges in different ways. However, with staff shortages and increasing cost pressures continuing to have a significant impact across hospitality, it is clear that some businesses, particularly SMEs, may not always have the bandwidth or resource available to make meaningful progress alone. That is why we have developed this guide, in collaboration with our members, to provide practical, accessible support for hospitality businesses looking to strengthen their approach to healthy eating.
This guide forms part of UKHospitality’s steadfast commitment to supporting our members across the wider food agenda, whether that be in nutrition or food safety. We know that chefs and catering managers play a vital role in shaping the nation’s eating habits, and we hope this guide will help businesses continue to make a positive contribution to public health.
