27th May 2009, 8:47am

Award winning pasta meals supplier, Pasta King, has been successfully nominated as an official meals supplier to NHS hospitals in England and parts of Wales including Cardiff & Vale, Conwy & Denbighshire and Gwent.

The nomination is initially for one year but with potential for the company to be awarded a three-year extension.

This nomination qualifies Pasta King to supply its range of handmade pasta sauces to caterers responsible for patient feeding in the Standard, Allergen, Halal and Children's Ready Prepared Meals categories and to supply pasta meals using its unique pasta bar concept for staff and visitor feeding in restaurants on hospitals sites.

Pasta King has enjoyed unrivalled success in the UK foodservice industry, winning numerous awards for the quality of its pasta meals and service to caterers.

The company provides caterers with a self-contained pasta bar unit where pre-cooked pasta is instantly refreshed at the point of sale and topped with one of its 30 plus different sauces.

Sue Davenport, managing director at Pasta King said: "We're absolutely delighted with this opportunity to supply the NHS with our pasta meals. We look forward to helping hospital caterers supply healthy food that is easy to prepare and quick to serve, which are the demands of today's caterers, especially in environments like hospitals where quality and healthiness need to be the top priority."

Based in Newton Abbot, Devon Pasta King employs over 70 members of staff and holds many industry awards for its pasta meals and last year won a coveted National Business Award for 'Best Small to Medium Sized Business.'
