DO play with your food at Holiday Inn

Is there anything more stressful as a parent when you're away on holiday or just for an overnight break than dealing with a fussy child who fidgets and messes around at the dinner table?  The last thing you want to be worrying about is whether or not your child will eat their dinner.

The clever folks at Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts have come up with an ingenious solution to this age-old problem.  They've enlisted the help of experimental food scientists The Robin Collective, and together have created some magical mealtime ideas to help make things easier and create a memorable dining experience for all the right reasons!

Launching in selected UK and German hotels, these new fun additions to the table include exploding parsley herb party poppers and a Willy Wonka-esque roast dinner flavoured straw.

We had fun at home playing with condiments in a piping bag - such a simple idea but makes dinner time so much more fun.


The new menu of condiments is available for a limited time at the Holiday Inn Manchester Media City; Camden Lock; Stratford; Birmingham City Centre and Edinburgh.

      Hehe, I did enjoy doing that. I think I might put all our sauces in icing bags now!

    Oh now this does look FUN! What a great idea - other hotel chains could learn a thing of two from this!

    What a great idea. I've done things like that for the children but never thought to get them to do it themselves.

    I loved this idea for the kids. All I need now is to road test it in situ ;)

    I haven't yet found any potato waffles in Oz, but I think I'm going to look a bit harder now that I know I can turn them into parcels like that. So cool! xx

    And you should see our Pirate boats or even more stunning ... our Parsley poppers!! There is also a little bag and funny straws going with this. And parents are ALSO allowed to play with their food ;-)

    See you in Camden? We could do an arty plates competition ...
