HEALTHY
PLATES

Healthy Plates celebrates businesses that are making it easier for customers to eat well, whatever the occasion.

What is Healthy Plates?

Healthy Plates is a Sunderland initiative that shines a spotlight on the healthier options already available across the city’s restaurants, cafes and food businesses.

The campaign isn’t about changing your menu or telling businesses what to serve. Instead, it’s about helping customers discover balanced, nutritious dishes that are already on offer, proving that healthier choices can be every bit as satisfying and full of flavour.

What Do You
Need to do?

What do you need to do?

It’s simple.

✔ Identify one or more dishes that meet the Healthy Plates principles.

✔ Be happy to talk to customers about your healthier options or possible adaptations where appropriate.

✔ Continue doing what you do best. Your Healthy Plates dishes sit alongside your full menu, giving customers more choice rather than replacing it.

Healthy Plates is about choice

Customers visiting Healthy Plates venues can still enjoy your complete menu.

The initiative simply highlights that healthier options are available, making them easier to find and giving diners confidence that they have a choice that suits their lifestyle, without compromising on taste.

Working together

Healthy Plates is about celebrating Sunderland’s vibrant food scene while making it easier for people to enjoy healthier choices when eating out.

By working together, we can create a city where great taste, local hospitality and healthier options go hand in hand. Every participating business plays a part in helping customers make informed choices, without compromising on flavour or enjoyment.

Healthy Plates

Great food. Great choice. Great for Sunderland.
