As the official sponsor of the Eat Them to Defeat Them Caterers’ Challenge, Tilda will be revealing the winning school catering team that served up the best vegetable and rice dish during the five week campaign from Veg Power and ITV.

The winner will be announced live on stage at the LACA Awards gala dinner where they will be presented with the coveted trophy. LACA attendees will also have the opportunity to try the winning recipe by visiting the Tilda School Food Show stand (M9). Visitors to M9 will be able to pick up a complimentary limited edition Tilda tote bag. School catering providers can register for free entry to the School Food Show here.

Delegates will also be able to speak to the team and learn more about Tilda’s commitment to schools as well as find out how school meals can be ‘transformed’ for the new school year with a little help from Tilda rice.

Annette Coggins, head of foodservice, at Tilda UK said: “We’re thrilled to be back at LACA: Main Event this summer and have so much to celebrate. The Caterers’ Challenge really highlighted the incredible work of school catering teams across the UK, and we were lucky enough to spend time with a number of these school heroes during this year’s Eat Them to Defeat Them. Tilda is looking forward to honouring them, as well as showing that delicious and nutritious on a budget meals are possible for school menus.”

As part of Tilda’s ongoing charity work, centred on the welfare of children, the rice people are continuing their partnership and commitment to Mary’s Meals – a charity dedicated to providing free meals to the most vulnerable children in our communities. For every LACA sign up, Tilda will double their donation to Mary’s Meals, providing two meals for every 5Kg bag sold.
