Well those summer holidays seemed to pass quicker than expected (I’m sure I missed a week or two), the schools are back and the holiday period is coming to an end so it’s back to work, and the question of lunch and what to pack in your lunch box. The perfect solution (well we think so anyway) is our brand new cereal bar range, Blackcurrant, Cherry & Raspberry; Apple & Raisin and Almond, Brazil & Hazelnut bars are the ideal snack for the lunch box, for elevenses or for any time when you need a quick nibble. In fact we’re so keen on lunch that we’re planning to launch a claim back your lunch hour campaign, so keep your eyes peeled for tips on how to make the most of your lunchtimes.
