InterContinental to debut new kids’ menu

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts will launch a new children’s menu in 2014 designed to take kids on an educational voyage around the world.

Jointly developed by Theo Randall, chef patron of Theo Randall at the InterContinental at InterContinental London Park Lane, and Annabel Karmel, children’s food expert and author, the menu promises meals that are both enjoyable and nutritionally balanced. The IHG brand will roll out the new dishes starting in January, and the new menu will be available in all InterContinental properties globally by the end of June 2014.

Randall and Karmel conducted a test-and-learn tasting session of potential dishes for the new menu with young guests in early October.

“Children are naturally inquisitive, and grown-ups are often surprised by the flavors they enjoy,” Karmel said. “Sometimes it takes a little encouragement, and a holiday with the family can be a great opportunity to explore new and exciting foods. Working with Theo, we’ve created a menu filled with diverse flavors and tastes whilst offering the nutritional balance InterContinental travelers with young families are looking for.”

“This partnership is based on the principle of ‘Food Exploration,’ which is all about creating food experiences children will find intriguing and exciting,” said Simon Scoot, vice president global brands, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts and IHG Global Resorts. “At the same time we want to reassure parents that our children’s menus are nutritionally balanced — just another way we endeavor to give our guests piece of mind when they are away from home.”
