American theme

The USA has a huge influence on our food culture in Britain, so American dishes and flavours will be familiar, comforting and enjoyable for many residents. You can create links to Independence Day, Thanksgiving and other national holidays, major events such as The Oscars or the Superbowl, or cultural icons like Disney or Elvis Presley.

We’ve created full recipe spec sheets for all the main dishes, plus a product guide listing all the key ingredients and products. And with sketches for your residents to colour in, and quizzes to test their knowledge of the USA, you’ve got everything you need to bring your American-themed event to life.
