Healthy Eating at Kids Ahoy

We have three qualified cooks that provide the children with healthy, wholesome foods to form a well balanced diet incorporating their 5 fruit and veg per day.  We are delighted to say that the children love our healthy options and fussy eaters don't stay fussy for long!

Staff in the baby and toddler section work very closely with the kitchen and parents/carers especialy when your child is ready for weaning.  We endeavour to make meal times a relaxing experience with home comforts like tablecloths and placemats.  We encourage the children to be independant and help us set the tables for meals.  Most importantly we have a staff member at every table who encourages eating, good table manners and safe eating in a fun and friendly manner.

 Kids Cook

The cooks plan and implement weekly food related activities for all age groups.  The children are fully involved with these activities.  It helps to educate children about where food comes from and how great it can be.  This in turn encourages enthusiasm when it comes to meal times.

The Eat Safe Award

We were awarded the Eat Safe Award in July 2008.

The Eat Safe award has been in operation in Northern Ireland since June 2003 and was extended to Scotland in January 2005. It is administered by local council Environmental Health Services (EHS) in conjunction with the Food Standards Agency in both Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The main aim of the scheme is to provide an incentive to caterers to strive for food hygiene and food safety management standards beyond those required by law. It will also help consumers make informed choices about where to eat out by providing a recognisable 'sign' of excellence in standards of food hygiene.

Eligible establishments are assessed for the award as part of scheduled food hygiene inspections carried out by EHS and the issuing and control of the Eat Safe award certificates is handled by local authorities.

Initially the award was limited to catering operations to which the public had access. The scope of the award has, however been changed so that in both Northern Ireland and Scotland the award is now available to all catering establishments including hotels, restaurants, cafes, pubs serving food, takeaways, coffee shops, in-store restaurants, most hospital canteens, nursing homes, workplace restaurants and catering college restaurants.

A multi-sectoral stakeholder group, known as the Eat Safe Award Implementation Group, advises and assists with the ongoing development of the scheme. The group consists of Environmental Health, catering and consumer representatives from both Northern Ireland and Scotland.
