Safari MK, based in Kiln Farm, Milton Keynes has won a UK national award for excellence in food and beverage. The awards were run by BALPPA, (The British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers & Attractions)*

The judges were looking for well-presented innovative menus supported by exceptional food and service. They wanted to see consideration for special dietary needs, leisure industry trends, healthy eating options along with the organisation’s approach to training and development of the food and beverage team. They were also looking for venues with consistently high standards of health and safety, hygiene and cleanliness.

“The vision from when we started designing Safari MK 4 years ago was to create something unique both in Milton Keynes and within the indoor play industry. We wanted families to want to come and eat together as well as play. The whole team work so hard every day to keep this dream alive and they fully deserve this recognition” Gordon Forster, Managing Director and Owner.
