Meat with a story worth telling
We prioritise transparency in all aspects of our catering services. From the sourcing of our ingredients to the methods we use in the kitchen, parents can trust that we operate with integrity.
Every cut we serve begins long before it reaches your kitchen. We believe you deserve to know exactly where your food comes from — the farms, the families, and the standards that stand behind every plate. We source from British farms and producers whose values reflect our own — people who take pride in how their animals live, how they are handled, and how the finished product reaches your table. No corners cut, no questions left unanswered.
WEST END FARM · WILTSHIRE
Pigs raised with room to be pigs
There is something quietly special about West End Farm. A family operation nestled in the Wiltshire countryside, it has been producing pork the right way for generations — and it shows in every bite. Their pigs are outdoor-bred from the very start, which means they spend their earliest weeks rooting through open fields rather than concrete pens.
As they grow, they're given space to explore, wallow, and do all the things pigs are naturally inclined to do. Deep straw bedding keeps them comfortable; carefully balanced diets keep them healthy.
The result is an animal that is calmer, stronger and — in a way that genuinely translates to the plate — happier. That slower, more considered upbringing gives the meat a depth of flavour and a natural succulence that intensive farming simply cannot replicate.
Once the pigs leave the farm, they pass into the hands of Cherryfield, a respected family-owned butchery and processor based in Croydon with decades of quiet expertise. Their close relationship with the farms they work with ensures every stage — from collection through to preparation — is handled with the same care the animals received in life.
ALEC JARRETT · BRISTOL
Traditional craft, honest British beef
Alec Jarrett has been at the heart of Bristol's meat trade for decades — a name trusted by chefs and buyers who care about what they're serving. As both an abattoir and boning hall, they oversee the full journey from animal to cut, which means nothing is handed off, nothing is lost in translation, and the standards they hold themselves to apply at every single stage.
All of the beef we receive through Alec Jarrett comes from British farms operating under the Red Tractor Assurance scheme — an independently audited programme that covers animal welfare, responsible land management, food safety and full supply chain traceability.
In practice, that means you can be certain the cattle were raised on British soil, under British standards, by farmers who take the welfare of their herds seriously.
The craftsmanship at Alec Jarrett is the kind that's earned over years, not learned in a weekend course. Their traditional approach to butchery produces beef with exceptional consistency — well-marbled, properly hung, and prepared with the kind of precision that elevates a good piece of meat into something genuinely memorable.
HIGHBURY POULTRY · BRITISH
Consistent quality, care you can taste
Great chicken starts long before it reaches the kitchen. It starts with the people who raise it, the farms they run, and the standards they hold themselves to every single day. That's exactly what Highbury Poultry has built its reputation on.
As a specialist British poultry supplier, Highbury works with a carefully selected network of UK farms — each one assessed against clear, consistent specifications covering everything from bird welfare to housing conditions to how flocks are managed throughout their lives. Nothing is left to chance. The close relationships they've cultivated across the supply chain mean they can stand behind the quality of every bird they supply with genuine confidence.
Like our pork and beef, every chicken we serve carries Red Tractor certification — meaning it has been independently verified against rigorous national standards for animal welfare, food safety, hygiene and traceability. What you get as a result is chicken that cooks beautifully, eats cleanly, and performs reliably — whether it's a midweek roast or the centrepiece of something more special.
✓Named farms, named partners
We name our farms and suppliers because we're proud of them — and because you have every right to know who is behind the food on your plate.
♥ Welfare above all
RSPCA Assured and Red Tractor certification are the floor, not the ceiling. We choose partners who exceed standards, not merely meet them.
↻ Fully traceable, end-to-end
From the field to your fork, every cut we serve can be traced through a clear, documented chain. No gaps, no compromises, no ambiguity.
