HONOR Award

HONOR Award

Healthier food options are important for many consumers when choosing where to eat out and for improving the overall health of residents. In recognition of this, Breckland Council has introduced the HONOR Award scheme to reward those businesses that have added healthier options to their menu. The HONOR Award scheme is being adopted across Norfolk to promote the work of caterers who can demonstrate a commitment to promoting healthier choices and customer care. Also within the Award is the opportunity to achieve additional recognition by sourcing food locally and providing a breast feeding friendly environment. These simple steps can make all the difference for many customers. The scheme is open to all food businesses with a Food Hygiene Rating score of 3, 4 or 5. The application process is simple, involving the completion of a short questionnaire. Successful food businesses will receive a certificate, window sticker and recognition on Breckland Councils website. For more information please contact the Food and Health and Safety Team on 01362 656870 or e-mail foodandhealth&safety@breckland.gov.uk.

The launch of the HONOR Award took place in Thetford in September 2010.

Meet up Cafe, Cafe One at Keystone Trust, Breckland Leisure Centre and Tall Orders were picked as some of the eating establishments where the public benefit from having the choice of a Healthier Option on their menu.
