H. Forman & Son are founder associate members of the Academy of Culinary Arts, a professional association of Chefs, Restaurateurs and Food Producers that does a lot of good work in the UK raising food standards and awareness of good food. HRH The Prince of Wales is the patron and joined Lance Forman and some of the country’s finest Chefs in celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the academy’s Chefs Adopt a School programme.

The Chefs Adopt a School project, which began in 1990 teaches school children all about food, food provenance and cookery through taste sessions delivered by Academicians. Chefs Adopt a School has the potential to influence a new generation of food lovers and home cooks, which is where the impact of understanding food and its origins is aimed, and where the importance of nutrition, health and cooking is strongest.

At Formans we regularly host school parties from the local area and around the country, teaching them about our smoked salmon of course but also about good food in general, regeneration and of course more recently the impact of the Olympics.
