This autumn,
ASK Italian restaurants will raise vital funds for
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity by donating a percentage of sales from their scrumptious
kids menus. The
menu which includes a tasty
crudité starter followed by a choice of
main course and dessert costs just £5.95, with
25p from every meal bought going to the charity.
TV chef and Italian cooking expert
Theo Randall, comments: “The inspiration for the
kids menu came from Italy and the
Italian’s approach to family eating. Children are very much encouraged to
eat the same food their parents enjoy but in
smaller portions and that’s what
ASK Italian have replicated on their
kids menu using fresh, quality ingredients.”
To keep
children happy, the menu also comes with a
fun activity sheet which is based around Italy’s annual
tomato harvest. The launch of the
kids menu donation is part of an ongoing commitment from
ASK Italian restaurants to
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity to raise
£1 million over the next three years.
The
money raised from the partnership will help fund
dining rooms, play areas and a kitchen within
Great Ormond Street Hospital’s new
Surgery Centre, due to open in
2016.
Antonia Dalmahoy, Director of Corporate Partnerships at
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, comments: “We are very grateful to
ASK Italian restaurants for donating a share of sales from their fantastic
kids menu. We hope families take up the offer and help
ASK Italian raise much needed funds for
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.” The
kids menu is available in all
ASK Italian Restaurants.
