Urban Food Week

Urban Food Week UK

The event is a collaboration between restaurant network Ethical Eats; Capital Growth - the campaign to create 2012 new food-growing spaces by 2012; and Capital Bee, which promotes community beekeeping in London. 

Restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs across the capital will be showcasing dishes and drinks made with ultra-local fruit, veg and herbs, and from honey made by bees in community hives. 

Restaurants can choose to ‘adopt a plot’, or ‘adopt a hive’, and build a long-term relationship with their local growing space or beekeeper.  Or they can simply buy produce on an ad hoc basis during Urban Food Week and create some exciting menu specials with it. 

We’ll provide postcards, posters, badges and stickers to promote the week, and talk to the press and generally get the word out via our networks and Twitter etc. 

We’ll also be running a competition to find the best menu special put on during the week, with winners voted by the public.
