Three reasons why Homestyle fits the bill for delivery

Published on 22nd December 2021

Meal delivery, on the go and take-away continue to rule the roost in the ‘out of home’ food service industry, and we’re here to help you get ahead of the curve to meet the ever-increasing expectations of your consumers.

Latest research shows meal delivery, on the go and take away, accounted for over half of total ‘out of home’ spend in 2021, so offering good quality, streamlined delivery service is crucial, check out our helpful guide on how to get started here.

Why the big increase? It’s easy to point fingers at Covid… but since more and more restaurants are utilising delivery services such as Just Eat and Deliveroo, consumer demand for high quality meals brought to their door has sky rocketed.

With this in mind, here’s three reasons why our Homestyle brand can help you win over even the strictest of foodies amongst your customers… straight from the freezer.

Quality always wins

Quality is still consumers’ number 1 driver on where they will eat, coming in above price and breadth of choice. With this in mind, it could be a good idea to prioritise traditional consumer favourites and do these really well, alongside healthier options and any seasonal specials.

Keep the crunch

The major complaint people have when ordering food delivery is it arriving cold, tried and tested by our Development Team the innovative Homestyle coating keeps it crunch for extended periods whilst maintaining a warm, succulent core. Helping you extend your delivery zone whilst still keeping your customers happy with quality, consistent products.

Flexibility is your friend

71% of consumers would like to see new items on their food menu at least once a month, our versatile Homestyle range is perfect for changing your menu whilst still keeping the same core ingredients allowing you to use one product across your menu. Our Development Chef has created a quick and easy guide of 8 different ways you can use our Shredded Chicken on your menu, download it here.

Retaining the Top AA BRC Global Standard Certification

Published on 8th October 2021

Meadow Vale Foods are proud to announce the retention of our British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standard for Agents and Brokers.

The BRC Global Standards is a leading safety and quality certification programme, used by over 23,000 certificated suppliers in 123 countries, including many of the world’s leading retailers such as Tesco and Walmart.

After a rigorous auditing process to assess compliance to the leading globally recognised food accreditation body, Meadow Vale Foods has again been awarded the Agents & Brokers AA rating, which is the highest possible BRC standard for Food Safety.

The certificate reinforces Meadow Vale Foods’ long-standing commitment to food safety and quality in partnership with the BRC standard, providing customers with the additional confidence of an industry recognised standard.

Nigel O’Donnell, Managing Director of Meadow Vale Foods, was delighted with the certification, stating:

“Retaining the AA grade is of huge importance to the whole team at Meadow Vale Foods, it demonstrates our ability to maintain high standards of food safety year after year.”

“Achieving and retaining this top rating takes time, focus and excellent team work across the business and I’d like to thank our fantastic team for their hard work and commitment to achieve the top AA rating for food safety during a rigorous auditing process.”

“Food safety and robust processes are integral to everything we do. The rating is a significant part of our commitment to maintaining the very highest standards in the Poultry industry.”

“Maintaining these standards has been even more critical during the past 12 to 24 months as we navigate our way through the impact of the pandemic and supply chain challenges giving confidence to our customers in the wholesale, food service and retail industries.”

Jamie Payne, Meadow Vale Foods Group Technical Manager, was a leading figure in the retention of the BRC standard and spoke of his pride relating to high standards set by the Meadow Vale Foods team:

“I am extremely proud once again of our team who work tirelessly in the pursuit of technical excellence, we ensure our standards never slip which is reflected by maintaining this industry leading accreditation."

"The accreditation comes at an important juncture in UK conventional food practice. With new laws now in place to stamp down on quality control in food production, wholesalers and businesses can be rest assured that our production processes are accredited with the highest possible standard of food safety by a recognised food accreditation body.”
