Cheesy Meatballs

One of our suppliers, Meatless Farm, has recently partnered with 12-year-old Omari McQueen, the UK’s youngest award-winning plant-based chef, to launch a ‘For Kids By Kids’ campaign. Aimed at the education catering sector, the campaign highlights how simple and delicious it can be to include more plant-based food on to school menus.
