Holly Bush Inn

Customer Statement

"Working in the pub trade, I need to be able to produce an extremely high turnover of meals, but ensure consistency of quality and portion size. I purchased a vacuum packer from Culinary Innovations earlier this year and have not looked back since. It is an extremely efficient and hygienic way of storing fish and meat, which we use on a daily basis. I am increasingly using Sous Vide cooking methods and the vacuum packers are an essential piece of equipment to assist with this.” Geoff Holland, Patron, The Holly Bush Inn in Salt, Staffordshire - Best British Food at the Prestigious Publican Pub Food Award, 2003.

Glebe Farm Shop

Customer Statement

“I use vacuum packing to package cold meats for retail display and to store sliced meat in the tea room kitchen.  The benefits of vacuum packing for me are extended shelf life, reduced food wastage, greater bulk purchasing power, convenient portion control and presentable packaging.  To my mind vastly cutting food wastage and making retailing and catering more economic is a serious business.” Chris Holdsworth, Owner, Glebe Farm Shop, Kettering , Northamptonshire.

Coach House Inn

Customer Statement

"Vacuum packing allows me the convenience of over ordering and bulk purchasing from time to time without having to worry about the consequence of food wastage.  An extra day or two shelf life of a big sirloin on the bone broken down into fillets or large quantities of liver portioned out into smaller units helps store food more economically.  Even slippery fish vacuum packed is a better storage solution than being left in the fridge of freezer.  Above all else a vacuum packer keeps food fresh as it reduces the oxidation process.”   Pat O’Donovan, Head Chef, The Coach House Inn & Ostlers Restaurant, South Luffenham, Rutland .

Manor Farm Shop

Customer Statement

“I need to ensure that the farm’s meat is kept fresh for our customers.  The farm sends its livestock for slaughter once a fortnight and receives large portions back for sale in the farm shop and use in the tea room.  We were naturally delighted to be supplied a low cost vacuum sealer designed for counter top use that can keep our meat fresh.  In our opinion the vacuum sealers from Culinary Innovations are ideal for the small artisan producers and retailers as we are people who enjoy our food as it should be … fresh.”   Matt Grindall, Partner. Manor Farm Shop & Tea Room, Lutterworth, Leicestershire.
