After the intensive New Year 10 week campaign, healthy eating topics and DARE recipes will continue to feature on the menus, so customers can look and feel good all year long.

“Customers want food facts they can rely on and presented in an inspiring and accessible way and a combination of print and mobile communications works brilliantly”.
