Foodservice

From caterers and clubs to hospital kitchens, aged care facilities, restaurants, and pubs, we support chefs working in high-pressure, fast-moving environments. Food safety is at the core of everything we do, helping reduce risk and ensure compliance in busy commercial kitchens.

Our cooked protein solutions help foodservice operators streamline operations, reduce preparation time, and cut down on overheads like labour, training, and waste. With consistent quality and reduced handling, kitchens can deliver consistent results, regardless of staff skill level or kitchen size.

Base Products

Our base products are designed to be a blank canvas, giving chefs full creative control while saving time on core prep. Use our plain proteins as the foundation for your own flavours and applications. For example, take our plain pulled pork and toss it with your signature BBQ sauce for loaded fries or burgers.

Pulled Chicken

Plain pulled chicken breast is incredibly versatile due to its neutral flavour, making it a perfect base for a variety of dishes. It can be easily adapted to fit a range of cuisines.

Roast Beef Sliced

Slow roasted and sliced 4-5mm our beef roast offers a tender texture with a deep savory flavour. Serve as a classic main course with potatoes and vegetables or use in sandwiches and stir-fries.

Roast Lamb Whole

Serve our whole roast lamb as center of plate protein with sides like roasted potatoes and vegetables or paired with lighter accompaniments like couscous or vegetables.

Crispy Skin Pork Belly Whole

Pork belly with crispy skin offers a delightful contrast of textures, with crackling, golden skin on top. Serve in various ways, from a roasted main dish with vegetables to sliced and used in bao buns.

Value Added Products

Our value-added range takes convenience a step further. These products come with marinades, sauces, or even vegetables, offering complete flavour solutions that just require heat and assemble. For example, our Rolled pork belly marinated in a traditional Japanese flavour profile, finish by slicing, blowtorching to brown, and serving in a ramen bowl.

Pork Char Siu Sliced

Sliced char siu pork was designed for dishes like noodles and fried rice. It guarantees traditional Asian inspired BBQ flavours without the timely cooking process.

Pork Ribs Smoky BBQ Bone In

By eliminating lengthy preparation and cooking times pork ribs in smoky BBQ sauce provide a high-quality, tender product, infused with a rich and smoky sauce.

Pork Belly Rolled Chashu

Fully cooked in sweet and savory Japanese style sauce, this Chashu pork roll comes whole. We recommend using a blow torch to brown and crisp the skin before serving.

Mexican Pulled Pork

Slow cooked with a blend of Mexican spice and pulled for your convenience saving valuable prep time in the kitchen.

Brand integrity is critical when you’re growing across multiple sites. Our standardised, pre-prepped proteins help ensure the same portion size, flavour profile, and quality, no matter who’s preparing the food or where the site is located. That means consistent customer experiences and fewer operational headaches.
