Many of you are likely to have seen the Mobile Food Store on it's travels. It offers healthy living advice as well as quality products at reasonable prices to members of the public aswell as schools and nurseries. The continued growth can be attributed to the increase in awareness by the public and the growing number of schools who are taking advantage of the Mobile Food Store to provide healthy snacks for thier summer clubs.
The Mobile Food Store is a local project set up by Community Connections and Great Yarmouth & Waveney NHS. The aim is to get everybody to eat fresh Fruit ‘n' Veg. The Van is supplied with Fruit and Vegetables from McCarthy's in Norwich at wholesale price, so the savings are passed on directly to the customer. So not only do you eat healthier.... It's cheap too!
The Mobile Food Store has various locations in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft where they stop and "set-up-shop". Customers can then climb aboard to select the goods they would like to buy. The Health Trainers aboard the van can give you recipes designed by the Community Nutritionists to make delicious soups and casseroles, which could feed a family of 4 for as little as £4.00! They can provide you with "taster" samples if you are unsure if you like a particular Fruit or Vegetable.
Maybe you have seen something on TV or in a cookbook that you would like to try. Just ask one of the Health Trainers who run the Food Store and they will try to order that item for you and provide it at wholesale price.
The Mobile Food Store operates 5 days a week and stops at many locations in the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area. For a detailed listing of the Mobile Food Stores location and times click here.
