FastFood Professional

(Formerly

We started the year with high hopes following on from Covid, but the world has been turned on its head by the evil invasion of Ukraine which has infected the world with both energy and foods being weaponised by Russia as well as the destruction of a neighbouring country in Europe. It hasn’t quite worked out as we had all hoped for the markets to open up.

The much-awaited Autumn statement did little to help small businesses with no obvious plan for growth, a raising of minimum wage from £9.50 to £10.42 from April 2023, no lowering of the VAT rate and an announcement of a review of energy support for businesses by the end of the year.

There was also a failure to recognise the chronic staff shortage in hospitality, which could be easily remedied by a relaxation of immigration rules which currently restrict employment and stifle growth.

Having three different Prime Ministers in the UK has certainly not helped our situation at home with the Truss/ Kwarteng “mini budget” debacle spooking the world finance markets and causing all of us even more hardship. Someone once told me that in these cases the level of pay-off was in direct proportion to the size of the cock-up, so I hope they don’t see a great reward for this.

Speaking with small business operators in our sector, I know many are very concerned about how they will survive if something major is not done to support them when energy deals end or caps increase. I think a miracle is called for or we will see many independent shops close. I would like to thank all of our advertisers and contributors who have continued to support Fast Food Professional through this difficult year and we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and our very best wishes for 2023

Wishing all of our readers a Very Happy Christmas

They’re coming home - global flavours with Lamb Weston!

Football featured large in our lives in the run up to the festive season and the World Cup will have influenced dishes to feature flavours from around the world

Now is the time for fast food operators to up their fries game, experiment with global flavours and cash in on profits to help offset the New Year lull which follows Christmas. Anticipating the economic challenges this winter, simple serves that maximise margin will be the key to success.

Fries are a true treasure to fast food operations and a food item with significant mark-up potential when you compare the cost per portion with the potential sales value of each. For example, Lamb Weston fries are vegan-friendly which is another way to max your margins - a recent Lumina Menu Tracker study (March 2022) found the sales price of vegan chips was 17% higher vs regular chips – instant uplift!

For World Cup flavours and menu inspiration, look to Lamb Weston with its reputation for top quality and versatility, offering a world-class range of potato solutions for every operator. Their extensive range of potato products provide the perfect base ingredient to craft sensational, high-margin menus from.

Inspired by the local flavours and cuisines of some of the participating countries, please your customers with tasty and trendy recipes using Lamb Weston fries and wedges, paired with ingredients that can be easily adapted by any back of house fast food operation.

From England, Lamb Weston’s 100% British skin-on Dukes of Chippingdom, loaded with braised beef, melted English cheddar cheese, generously drizzled with Cambridgeshire beetroot and horseradish mayo, and finished with fresh chives.

From Wales, what could be better than serving up Lamb Weston’s Ziggy Fries, topped with Welsh Rarebit – add locally sourced cider chutney to raise the game.

Feed in the flavours of the US and use Lamb Weston’s CrissCuts drizzled in Tennessee smoked BBQ sauce with marinated sticky chicken wings, finished with spring onion. Or go upmarket with Lamb Weston CrissCuts and serve with lollipop chicken thighs, marinated and cooked in Jack Daniels BBQ sauce.

Get inspired by flavours and ingredients from Iran – how about Lamb Weston Wedges or Stealth Fries coated in a Persian dry rub (Turmeric, Cardamon, and Coriander Garlic) and drizzled with a spiced yoghurt? Or top with a Persian yoghurt and Babaganoush dip, finish with aubergine crisps, pomegranate and mint?

“Our top tip would be to offer a ‘build your own fries’ menu – give customers a choice of sauces, toppers and extras that can change regularly, to offer something fresh and new, but all built around world-class quality fries!” says Pete Evans, Lamb Weston’s UK Marketing Manager.

McCain SureCrisp™ fries put to the test at the Restaurant & Takeaway Expo

It’s not every day brands put their money where their mouth is, so we were excited when we visited the McCain stand at the Restaurant & Takeaway Expo.

McCain claim that their SureCrisp™ fries stay crispy for 20 minutes in a closed delivery bag and this was put to the test by simulating the delivery experience from operator to customer. McCain SureCrisp™ fries were

cooked up alongside private label, uncoated fries, put into paper bags and then into a typical insulated courier delivery bag. Once cooked, a big timer was set, and the fries sat there idly for 20 minutes.

Operators attending the show were asked to

judge the results by blind testing the two products side by side and guessing which ones were McCain SureCrisp™ fries. A whopping 98% of operators guessed correctly. Operators were also asked to rate each of the fries they were tasting on how happy they made them feel as well as the crispiness of the fries. It was an overwhelming response for SureCrisp™, with 85% of testers saying they were happy with the crispiness of the SureCrisp™ fries and preferred them to the private label, uncoated fries. The SureCrisp™ fries were very easy to pick out for their superior quality and retaining their crispiness, unlike the uncoated fries which were soggy and disappointing.

With the delivery & takeaway industry still on the rise and forecasted to be valued at £13.3bn* for the UK in 2022, getting your fries right is

crucial. Fries are always a firm favourite and the test showed McCain’s SureCrisp™ range certainly live up to its 20-minute crispy claim and are not afraid to show it off!

The proof is always in the pudding or, in this case, the ‘crispiness’. Favorite Fried chicken, who has over 90 outlets in the UK and overseas too, have found the impact on using SureCrisp™ has had a positive effect on their deliveries.

Alison Lawton, Favorite Fried Chicken said: ‘Since changing our fries to McCain SureCrisp™, we’ve seen an increase in orders through delivery, this is due to the fries staying crispier for longer.’

PUKKA CELEBRATES 60 YEARS OF (FOOD)SERVICE WITH NEW RECIPE INSPIRED BY CLASSIC CHIP SHOP MENU ITEM

Much-loved Great British Chippy will get first bite at Pukka’s new Chip Shop Chicken Curry recipe in January

Already appealing to over two thirds of pie-eaters , the new launch will be accompanied by a marketing support plan which includes limited-edition POS and digital assets

1st December 2022: Pukka, the nation’s no.1 pie brand, is celebrating 60 years of serving its bestselling pies in Britain’s chip shops with the launch of a limitededition pie, inspired by another of the nation’s chip shop favourites: Pukka Chip Shop Chicken Curry pie. Blending two of the best-loved dishes on chippy menus across the UK – The People’s Pie and curry sauce – the recipe is set to win over new customers, and drive frequency of purchase with existing Pukka fans.

Working with top industry experts to secure the seal of approval from those at the heart of the industry, Pukka’s Chip Shop Chicken Curry pie has been expertly baked to capture the iconic flavour of chip shop curry sauce.

“This new launch is all about paying homage to the Great British Chippy, and that’s exactly why we took our time to perfect the flavour profile – calling on the industry to help us make sure that we got the recipe just right,” says Isaac Fisher, Managing Director at Pukka.

“As The People’s Pie, we always aim to give the nation what they want. With our new recipe – which features tender pieces of chicken in a distinctive, tasty chip shop curry sauce, all wrapped up in Pukka’s signature, flaky puff pastry – we’re confident that’s exactly what we’ve delivered.”

Paying tribute to its longstanding relationship with the Great British chippy, Pukka is giving this well-loved industry at the core of many communities first bite, before wider retail rollout from February 2023. Plus, for a limited-time only, chippy owners can take advantage of a special launch offer.

“Chip shops are – and have always been – our heartland, ever since we started making and baking pies in 1963,” says Fisher. “And what better way to commemorate this than by creating a recipe in honour of the Great British Chippy, baked especially for their regulars to enjoy.

“We’ve been working hard behind the scenes at our bakery, in collaboration with chip shop industry experts, to ensure that our limited-edition Chip Shop Chicken Curry pie delivers on our full on flavour Pukka promise – and it’s safe to say it’s hit the mark. It’s already come up trumps in taste tests – with almost three quarters (71%) of our core buyers saying they’d be likely to buy it – which assures us that it will fly off chip shop counters.”

Supported by a trade communications programme and advertising across Pukka’s direct delivery app, as well as across its website and foodservice packaging, the launch of Pukka’s Chip Shop Chicken Curry will also be accompanied by brand-new POS material and digital assets – including newlook window posters and fresh social assets – to help chippy owners maximise both engagement and sales. In addition, Pukka will be raising awareness of the limited-edition pie nationally through social media and PR activity.

Pukka’s Chip Shop Chicken Curry pie will be available to order in cases of 12 x frozen baked and individuallywrapped pies from January 2023. Stock up now to take advantage of the limited-edition promotion by contacting your representative or calling Pukka directly on 0116 026 4000.

As British as Piri Piri Chicken

Nothing hits the spot quite like some delicious Southern Fried Chicken. Moist chicken coated in our delicious Southern Fried Breading with a touch of lemon pepper, or some hot and flaky wings. Except, maybe, some Spicy grilled Piri Piri Chicken, marinated overnight in our special marinade. Grilled to perfection whilst being generously brushed with one of our five basting sauces, lemon and Herb, Mild, Hot, Extra Hot ( only for the brave) and Mango and Lime. Serve as a quarter, half or whole chicken, or grill some Piri Piri chicken fillets to serve in burgers or wraps with lashings of your favourite Piri Piri sauce and crunchy salad. Choose from five delicious bottled sauces, great for dolloping over grilled or fried chicken.

Piri Piri Chicken may have started its journey to the UK in Mozambique, enjoyed a bit of a holiday in Portugal and then taken a small detour via South Africa, but now it’s as British as bangers and mash or Chicken Tikka. Across the UK, Piri Piri Chicken is a family favourite and choosing Piri Piri ingredients from Southern Fried Chicken will ensure that your Piri Piri Chicken has the fiery taste that consumers demand. Layers of flavour with the marinade, the baste and finally our exceptional pouring sources in five great flavours will have your customer’s taste buds

dancing the fandango and coming back for more.

Supreme Champions at the 2022 British Pie Awards You should pop some Pieminister Pies

Customers want something sustainable _and_ delicious with their chips and Pieminister delivers both. With an award-winning selection of premium pies offering everything from British steak & ale and free-range British chicken & mushroom to ‘that’ winning Mooless recipe, crowned the ‘Pie of Pies’ at this year’s British Pie Awards, there’s something for everyone in the range.

As well as their core range of meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free pies, available all year round; Pieminister’s limited edition specials keep menus fresh and exciting as they change throughout the seasons. For winter 2022 this means the return of Pieminister’s four festive pies:

Mistlemoo: a British beef steak, free range British bacon & port pie

Christingle: a honeyed parsnip, chestnut, Cheddar & leek pie

Elf: a vegan ‘turkey’, cranberry, port & thyme pie

Cracker: a free range British turkey, free range British ham, cranberry, parsnip & sherry pie

Tristan Hogg says, “We’ve been perfecting our piemaking skills for the last twenty years, bringing the best, great tasting sustainable ingredients together in every delicious recipe. One of our newest recipes, made with deforestation-free jackfruit ‘steak’ was judged against some of the UK’s best beef pies and was still crowned Supreme Champion at the British Pie Awards, so we know sustainable-eating can be every bit as indulgent and delicious. We know you wouldn’t settle for less when sourcing fish for the fryer, so why not stock a superior range of pies to match?”

“As the UK’s premium hot pie brand, our logo is a mark that consumers know, love and trust and the quality and consistency of our pies is second to none. Our strict procurement standards ensure the ingredients we use are responsibly sourced - for example, the beef is always British and farm assured and the chicken and pork, free range. And by making the pies in our custom-made reusable pie

in your Range

tins, we take the burden of waste away from stockists and consumers; another example of our commitment to be a truly sustainable food business”.

Simple to heat and serve, the pies come in easy-torecycle packaging with an 8-to-12-day fresh shelf life. They can be frozen on delivery for six months. And with a minimum order of 36 pies, which can be a mixed box of flavours, the pies are a versatile and low risk addition to your menu.

“The reaction to the giveaway has been overwhelming with most slots until March filling instantly. We are looking forward to getting the celebrations underway and want to thank everyone who is taking part. It is a privilege to have

joined the company this year and to be able to coordinate the promotion with our amazing customers.”

Participating shops will receive 10 free boxes of sausages to run the promotion for the week and then, as a thank you for participating, a further 10 boxes at the end of the week. They will also benefit from target social media posts aimed at driving footfall to the shop during the promotional week.

The Class of ’22

Fish and Chips still remain the Nation’s favourite meal and exceptionally good value. Frymax remains the brand leading cooking oil in the UK, a title it has now held for over 65 years. Why ? Because we have been producing the same product without additions and modifications for all this time resulting in the same delicious results. Frymax is pure white premium palm which is additive free, contains no hydrogenated oil and less than one percent trans fats. As befits the brand leader, Frymax has recognised the need for economic fairness and is sourced from approved, certified production units and is 100% sustainable and traceable.

The Class of ’54

Fish and Chips have long been recognised as Britain’s National dish, no more so than in the 1950’s. In the Class of ’54 there were over 30,000 Fish and Chip shops serving the Country’s only take away food. The primary fare was cod or haddock and chips, fried initially in animal fats, principally dripping and lard. The average price for a medium portion of cod and chips was one shilling (5p in today’s currency) and Friday night was the most popular night for the take away treat. In 1954 the market changed dramatically with the launch of Frymax vegetable oil. Unlike the high level of saturated fat and cholesterol in animal fats, Frymax was pure white premium palm, which had a higher smoke point, was additive free, contained no hydrogenated oil and less than one per cent trans fats. Frymax produced delicious light results and soon became the industry favourite and has remained so until today, the same product with the same consistent results.

A Great Way to Change-Up Your Menu to Help with Sales Growth or Cost Savings

Flat breads and wraps are a go-to for QSR operators; fast, easy to prepare, cost effective and ideal for hot or cold food to go options. In fact, the UK market for tortilla wraps is large, with 30% of consumers now enjoying a wrap at least once a week . They offer a base for many fast-food favourites including kebabs, burritos and shawarma.

However, they also open up other day parts allowing operators to extend their offering with just a few small tweaks to the menu. Whether it is a British sausage and egg breakfast wrap, a Mexican burrito for lunch, or a Mediterranean gyro for dinner, incorporating wraps onto your menu is a sure-fire way to appeal to the masses.

In the current climate, consumers expect more for their money and are seeking premium authentic experiences where they can treat themselves to exciting new flavours and cuisines. Although budgets are tight, they are willing to pay for it, with 87% agreeing that quality has a price and 75% happy to pay for higher quality . Operators increasingly need to consider the flavour profile and appearance of your ingredients – even your carrier items like breads and wraps.

In response, Santa Maria has launched their Grill Mark Tortillas. Combining authenticity with taste, Grill Mark wraps are designed to enable operators to boost margins, through premiumising dishes to meet consumer needs, while also checking off the needs of a busy operator. The 12” format is soft and easy to fold, incorporating a delicious flame grilled flavour and appearance. With a long shelf-life, they stay fresher for longer, and can be easily frozen, without affecting flavour and ease of use.

Testing showing that operators can nearly save a minute (51 seconds) per serving. This means, a QSR serving 50 chargrilled wraps or burritos daily can add up to around 255 saved hours per year. Helping foodservice operators find new ways to overcome staffing shortages and create popular dishes with smaller inventories.

Finally, more and more people are making conscious

decisions when it comes to their eating habits, again, this extends to base items such as bread and wraps. Vegan and free from unsustainable palm oils, Santa Maria’s Grillmark Tortillas are made in a carbon neutral factory in the UK&I, supporting operators to meet consumer demand to enhance their sustainability credentials.

The Class of ’88

By the late 1980’s the British public’s food tastes had become cosmopolitan with considerable growth in Indian and Chinese takeaway’s and gourmet food ranges in supermarkets. Nevertheless Fish and Chips still remained the Nation’s favourite takeaway with the Class of ‘88 numbering around 15,000 shops. They were attracting a more diverse range of customers who were paying around £1.60 - £2.00 for medium cod and chips. Greaseproof paper was introduced and newspaper for wrapping phased out on hygiene grounds. A BSE outbreak also resulted in many shops switching from animal fats to vegetable oils for frying. By 1988, Frymax was still the number one brand. It was exactly the same product as on launch with no additions or modifications and remained pure white palm which is additive free, contains no hydrogenated oil and less than 1% trans fats. Frymax guaranteed consistently good results and long lasting performance without deterioration in quality and had become firmly established as the Fryers Favourite.

Central Foods launches two new vegan products ahead of Veganuary 2023

Frozen food distributor Central Foods has launched two new vegan products for the food service sector ahead of Veganuary 2023.

Developed primarily for the fast food sector, the KaterVeg! Battered Vegan Chicken Nuggets and the KaterVeg! Battered Vegan Chicken Burger are both made from soya and vegetable protein and coated in a light tempura batter.

The vegan chicken nuggets have been given a triangular V shape and the vegan battered chicken burgers a round shape so that they can easily be differentiated from their meat equivalents.

Both can be deep fried, or oven baked – providing fast food or casual dining operators with a tasty plant-based option for their vegan and vegetarian customers.

MD of Central Foods, Gordon Lauder, said: “The

demand for vegan friendly food continues to rise and at Central Foods we have matched this with an ever expanding range of convenient-to-use, delicious plantbased options for food service operators.

“These two new KaterVeg! products are ideal for the fast food sector, offering easy-to-cook and easy-toserve vegan options of two popular chicken products. We specifically made the nugget a ‘v’ shape, so the operator can identify it as the vegan option when cooking in the outlet and can’t mistake it for a chicken nugget. Likewise, we made the burger a round shape, to differentiate it alongside our chicken steak which is oval-shaped.

“We are very pleased to be launching the KaterVeg! Vegan Chicken Nuggets and the KaterVeg! Vegan Chicken Burger just in time for Veganuary, which is the time of the year when plant-based food really comes under the spotlight.”

The Vegan Chicken Nuggets and the Vegan Chicken

Burger are both part of Central Foods’ KaterVeg! range which has been developed in response to customer demand and includes plant-based products and alternatives to meat-based burgers, sausages, nuggets, bakes and more. It is available exclusively from Central Foods, which is one of the UK’s leading frozen food distributors.

Kraft Heinz Foodservice and Chiquito shake up the hot sauce foodservice industry with Kumana

Whether it’s a tabasco variety, jalapeno based, sweet, extra spicy or otherwise, the demand for hot sauce continues to heat up, with a surge in demand for high-quality sauces and condiments increasing by 110% over the past six months

Following the successful launch of Kumana in retail, available in Ocado since 2021, and recently listed in Waitrose, Kraft Heinz Foodservice joined forces with The Restaurant Group’s casual dining chain Chiquito to bring the UK’s first avocado hot sauce to out-of-home customers.

What have they been cooking up?

Perfectly balancing avocado and jalapeno, with mango and habanero chilli, Kumana – pronounced ‘ku-mah-na’ - delivers sweetness and additional punches of heat.

The Venezuelan-inspired avocado hot sauce, its thick consistency and creamy texture not usually associated in its category, has versatile culinary prowess. 100% vegan, gluten free and HFSS approved, Kumana is perfect for all-day occasions, as can attest Chiquito.

Kumana has launched exclusively at Chiquito’s 22 nationwide restaurants, with its journey to tabletops as exciting as the sauce itself.

While on a Miami food tour in early 2022, Lawrence Ager, Culinary Sales Manager at The Kraft Heinz Company, and Chiquito Executive Food & Drink Development Chef Simon Xavier, were devouring a hot sauce-drenched Cuban sandwich when Lawrence sparked an idea.

He recalls: “Kraft Heinz US had previously met two Venezuelan brothers who started producing their own Guasacaca – a traditional sauce made from avocado and jalapenos, along with other variations - after failing to find anything in LA that resembled the flavours they missed from home. They named the brand Kumana in homage to the city they grew up in.”

Kraft Heinz partnered with Kumana and started producing the sauce in the UK for the freshest taste possible and believed with some tweaks the sauce would be a hit. It was the Cuban sandwich lunch that got the wheels in motion.

Following the reformulation of the sauce it was road-tested at this year’s Street Food Championships. Simon says: “The competition was a litmus test of sorts ahead of the table-top

launch and as the only branded sauce to reach the final and impress as much as it did is testament to its quality and unique flavour profile.”

Heinz launches Battle of the Burger competition offering £5,000 prize to restaurant serving up Britain’s best

More than just a hot sauce

Lawrence explains Kumana’s versatility sets it apart: “Kumana is not what you would expect a hot sauce to be – its avocado base can be spicy or cooling, and used in cooked dishes, cold straight from the jar, or as a marinade or dressing. Unlike a lot of other hot sauces that are sugar or vinegar based and tend to be used on the side of the plate, Kumana offers multiple applications for chefs and operators.”

Heinz is call ing the nation’s independent burger houses to bring on the bunfight create the ultimate burger using a Heinz sauce for a chance to be crowned country’s best and win a marketing package worth £5,000

Whether it’s a meaty masterpiece or plant based patty of perfection , chefs the boundaries of their creativity to come up with a unique and delicious menu that uses at least one Heinz sauce in its original form

Simon adds: “The PH balance of Kumana means it can be a salt and lime substitute for ceviche or poured on to salmon or monkfish and roasted for a beautiful glaze, colour and taste. It’s also great for tinga tacos - an incredible Mexican dish from Puebla made from shredded chicken cooked in a smoky and slightly spicy tomato-based sauce.”

Entries will be judged on overall appearance, creativity and quality and the restaurant will receive a marketing support package to the value of £5,000 to burger special as a limited time offer with the brand.

Charlotte Crane, Junior Brand Manager at Kraft Heinz Foodservice, says: “The a nation of burger lovers eating 2.5 billion burgers per year. And we all know to a burger’s success is that final flourish of sauce.

“We wanted to encourage independent burger restaurants to get creative winning yet versatile combination. It is an opportunity for chefs to showcase with flavour using the nation’s best loved sauces from Heinz

Whether it’s our classic Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Heinz [Seriously] Good Mayonnaise or one of our more adventurous members of the Heinz sauce portfolio , Smokey Baconnaise, we’re excited to see what our country’s talented kitchens up.”

The power of two Bringing Kumana to the table with a partnership approach is a step in the right direction to engage both customers and chefs.

Independent restaurants who want to be in the running need to register their via email before Monday 5 September. Each will receive a Heinz Starter featuring a selection of six Heinz sauces and to help inspire their burger special*.

Lawrence continues: “By working collaboratively, Kraft Heinz Foodservice has positioned the product within the South American OOH food sector, with the support of Chiquito, already well established there and doing an exceptional job in delivering what guests want to eat – it’s going to create a tidal wave within the market.”

How to Enter:

• Step 1: Register your restaurant’s interest in entering the competition emailing charlotte.crane@kraftheinz.com before Monday 5 September

Simon added: “We’re showing diners what authentic Latin and Mexican food is all about, with traditional options such as el pastor, tinga and pilbil on the Chiquito menu. New recipes featuring Kumana sauce are in the process of being developed for 2023. Whenever our new menus launch, we are always doing something that no other restaurant is.”

Bold, daring, game changing. Kumana is certainly serving something extraordinary.

Funnybones’ New Buffalo Wing Sauce Set to Fly Off Shelves

Operators will no longer have to wing it with unreliable sauces, thanks to the launch of Funnybones Foodservice’s New Rio Pacific Buffalo Wing Sauce.

deal for dipping, dunking, or glazing, the sauce can be served cold or hot – though we recommend hot for maximum flavour! The addition of butter balances the hot cayenne pepper base, resulting in a creamy and luxurious texture. Simply toss cooked wings in the Buffalo sauce, and serve for a sizzling appetiser.

Funnybones Development Chef, Tom Styman-Heighton, is excited about the new addition to Funnybones’ extensive sauce range;

“Buffalo sauce is an absolute must-have when it comes to serving wings. We’ve spent a long time coming up with our own unique recipe to get it just right – balancing full bodied heat with a really smooth, moreish finish – and we’re delighted with the results.

“With many operators looking to simplify menus due to supply chain issues, we expect to see more of a reliance on sauces to quickly add a pop of flavour to meals. The new

Buffalo sauce lends itself perfectly to operators interested in ‘Glocal’ products; globally inspired flavours, produced locally. Since we make our authentic sauces here in the UK, we’re better positioned to handle supply chain issues, making sure pubs and restaurants have enough stock to meet demand.”

The Buffalo Wing sauce joins Rio Pacific’s other latest addition to Funnybones’ extensive range of sauces –Korean BBQ Marinade. This punchy newcomer delivers all the sticky sweet goodness of a classic BBQ sauce, with the spicy twist of the Far East. Versatile enough to be used across the board, this marinade works particularly well with the smoky charr of a flaming grill.

Operators interested in mixing up their menu with mouthwatering Caribbean, Mexican, or Americana flavours can utilise Funnybones’ innovative range of sauces, rubs, and marinades to create the perfect offering.

Try our Tennessee Bourbon Glaze smothered over succulent ribs, or chicken skewers imbued with Chipotle BBQ Chilli Glaze, and the classic all American burger tastes so much better slathered in tangy Rio Pacific Burger Relish.

Pantastic!

It’s easy to understand the popularity of pizza; a self-contained dish that’s perfect for dine in, on-the-go or sharing, an easily customisable menu choice providing a solution to all dietary needs, a quick to prepare, affordable offer for both caterers and customers alike and simply a family favourite that’s super tasty!

Statistics from GlobalData* cited Italian and pizza & pasta as the most preferred cuisine type in the UK in 2021, accounting for 23.7% of total full-service restaurants, with burgers taking top choice and pizza second in the quick-service restaurant sector.

Increased interest in the origin of food, along with the authenticity and quality of ingredients is driving demand for premium pizza choices. Bidfood’s latest trend predictions** highlight pizza as a ‘concept that allows for

lots of creativity’ following a surge of innovative products on the market and excitement around emerging trends, such as Detroit pizza and New York style pizza.

Pan’Artisan offers a core product range focused on savoury dough-based products, with particular expertise in pizza bases, dough balls and speciality breads made using authentic Italian processes.

The demand for an authentic Italian-style pizza is met with Pan’Artisan’s handcrafted Italiano range. The Company’s premium Italian Wood Fired pizza base comes

ready topped with tomato sauce, assisting caterers with a great quality, quick to serve and convenient option. The bases are made using 24 hour fermented dough, which delivers a depth of flavour. They are hand-shaped and part-baked in a wood-burning oven before being cooled, topped with sauce and quick frozen to lock in the flavours. Pizza connoisseurs will delight in the thin, crisp, light base with a traditional thicker-edged crust and authentic, Italian flavour.

Italian Wood Fired Pizza Bases are available in 23cm, 10 per case and 29cm, 12 per case.

Chris Dickinson, Pan’Artisan’s Business Development Director, draws on a wealth of experience and skill to provide full product support and training to customers wanting to achieve the very best from Pan’Artisan’s premium quality dough range: “Pizza remains a very popular consumer choice with a prolific number of pizzerias operating in a very competitive market so it pays to adopt high standards of practice and makes sense to offer the best quality product that has been professionally prepared, to grow and retain custom.

“We provide training to a multitude of customers, from independents to high street chains and high-end restaurants, and during summer provided training at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships for their pizzeria offering.

“We offer a full training programme, that covers the handling of the dough from defrost through to the final

product out of the oven, including serving. In depth instruction is given regarding the stages of defrosting and proving to ensure that the yeast provides the perfect “oven spring” to the crust and that the proving results in the desired fermented flavour. We also teach how to get the preferred pizza crust, demonstrating different stretching techniques to achieve either flat to the rim or leaving the edge to form a much higher crust for an open crumb structure, such as when using Pan’Artisan’s HiCrust dough balls.

“Pan’Artisan’s training is fully comprehensive, with demonstrations and instruction in how to get the dough into the oven, whether using a traditional pizza peel or a carrier such as a pizza board, to slide the pizza onto the peel. Care over presentation is also important and we encourage operators to have pride in the finished product and offer suggestions in how adding a range of toppings after baking can enhance the product’s flavour and appearance. We also produce step-by-step picture guides to support the training given and can carry out follow up visits to customers, ensuring new colleagues are taught to the same standards and existing staff maintain their skills.”

Closing the door on energy wastage

Understanding the pressure on operators when it comes to reducing energy consumption, leading hot and cold display equipment manufacturer, FriJado, has launched a range of bespoke doors for the innovative MDD range.

Real-world tests carried out by Fri-Jado engineers at the company’s manufacturing site in the Netherlands have previously demonstrated that the appliances in the MDD range use as little as 16KWh per day to run, up to 50%* less than other commercial display solutions available on the market. This remarkable efficiency is achieved because of the patented hot air blanket technology that Fri-Jado implements into its hot holding equipment. The addition of the new optional doors can save a further 25% of the daily energy consumed by the unit, based upon the same set point – delivering remarkable savings throughout the life of the unit.

Designed to reduce energy consumption by minimising wastage, the optional doors, which can be retrofitted to existing units, preserve the temperature and humidity inside the display cabinet. Constructed from a single pane of glass, the doors have been designed specifically for the unit and to not obstruct a customer’s view of the food held within.

Available across the MDD portfolio, including the three, four and five-level appliances, a choice of widths and the stand-alone or pass-through design, the introduction of the doors has the potential to deliver significant ongoing

savings for operators at a time when it is needed most.

On the introduction of the doors to the MDD range, Gary Thacker, Sales Director at Fri-Jado UK adds:

“There is not a day that goes past without the cost of energy hitting the headlines across the country. Although much of the focus has been on the costs for consumers, businesses, especially those in the retail and foodservice sectors, are being hit harder than most.

At Fri-Jado, we’re committed to supporting our customers, helping them to save money, reduce energy consumption and ultimately, drive a profitable business. The introduction of the doors to our pioneering MDD range is an example of this. Exclusively designed to reduce energy wastage and consumption, the doors also help to preserve the wider conditions in a front-of-house environment. Tests have shown the energy savings are approximately 25% on an MDD with doors, compared to the same unit without doors. This is on top of the potential 50% savings compared to other similar units available on the market.”

Working in conjunction with Fri-Jado’s innovative ‘Hot Blanket’ technology, a system that uses hot air recirculation and conduction to maintain precise conditions, the doors have been shown to achieve significant cost savings over the life of an appliance.

Flexeserve Director of Customer Experience, Warwick Wakefield, said: “We’re very excited to be exhibiting at the expo for the first time. It’s going to be an amazing opportunity for operators to explore our unique technology and tap into the knowledge of our expert team.”

Expertise that makes all the difference

Flexeserve’s unique team of the world’s leading hot-holding specialists were on hand at Stand J24 to field questions on culinary, packaging, technical and in-store operations. These are all vital for an optimised hot-holding operation

and are covered by the industry’s only all-encompassing hot-holding service, Flexeserve Solution.

Attending members of the Flexeserve team include Operational Support & Development Manager – Dirk Wissmann, Director of Customer Experience – Warwick Wakefield, UK & Ireland Sales Manager – Billy Eatenton and Key Account Manager – Kristian Ward.

They demonstrated how true hot-holding can optimise your operations whilst helping you to sell more (and waste less) hot food.

Warwick continued: “With our equipment and expertise, we’ve helped many major brands and independents to change their game – transforming the way they make and serve hot food.

“Visitors will get hands-on experience of what our hotholding can deliver, both front and back-of-house. Our mission is to advance the world of hot food-to-go and we believe this area of the market has yet to fully tap into the potential of hot-holding.”

Achieve excellence in the kitchen

A range of food Flexeserve can help you hot-hold

Flexeserve’s team of hot-holding experts brought two of its ‘showstopping’ units – the industry-leading, Queen’s Award-winning Flexeserve Zone, and the front and backof-house gamechanger, Flexeserve Hub.

Flexeserve Hub is a revolutionary, high capacity hotholding unit perfect for both busy kitchens and operators with food models such as delivery, pickup, takeaway and drive-thru. With the ability to hot-hold a range of hot food at volume, Hub is transforming product quality and operational efficiency.

Warwick said: “With our latest innovation, Flexeserve Hub, and the advice we deliver through Flexeserve Solution, you can improve efficiency and food quality – to the benefit of your customers, your team and you!

“We’re delighted to also be able to relieve pressure on the kitchen. Hub can function as a hot staging area for cooked ingredients, as well as hot-holding ready-to-go products and entire food orders. This means your team can cook more outside peak service times.”

Joining Hub was Flexeserve Zone, winner of the

Queen’s Award for Innovation 2022. Flexeserve Zone is unique in its ability to accurately hot-hold food at different temperatures within the same unit. This has driven the evolution of the UK hot food-to-go market for several years, embraced by many well-recognised brands, from Pret to Sainsburys.

Don’t miss Flexeserve at Stand J24!

Warwick said: “Talk to us at Flexeserve.”. Whether you run a pizza delivery business, a dine-in grilled chicken restaurant or a grab-and-go noodle bar, Flexeserve can help you to sell more, waste less and achieve new levels of efficiency.”

“Flexeserve has transformed hot food-to-go for an impressive list of customers, including Pret, Amazon, Gregg’s, Circle K, Sainsbury’s and M&S. We can do the same for your kitchen and delivery operations.”

Creams Cafe celebrates summer of success with launch of one-of-a-kind training centre

International dessert parlour brand, Creams Cafe, is celebrating a summer of unquestionable success as no fewer than four new locations open their doors in key markets across the UK. Alongside an exciting relaunch of the Nottingham location, a brand-new training academy and Centre of Excellence

This specialist facility, which sits within the same unit as the brand’s northern flagship Nottingham restaurant, welcomed location owners to undertake their training for the first time in early September. Offering world-class initial training and ongoing development for partners and restaurant management teams, this Centre of Excellence acts as a hub for those new to Creams and those with established businesses.

“Having grown as quickly as we have in recent years, it’s imperative that we unify our network by delivering consistent training to both our location owners and to the teams that work in their locations. Demand for our business model in the north of the nation has increased post-pandemic, with the appeal of our high-quality desserts and impeccable customer service establishing us as the nation’s most-loved dessert parlour. We’re proud to have launched this new facility and reopened the adjoining restaurant after months of renovations. This is the sign of things to come for Creams Cafe in the north and further afield,” explained Othman Shoukat, Managing Director.

The latest franchise partner to invest in Creams’ quick service restaurant business model is Guneet Madhang. At just 23 years old, Guneet has taken over operations of the existing restaurant in Guildford – and he has his sights set on expanding throughout the region in the nottoo-distant future.

“I first enquired about the Creams investment opportunity during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst other business owners were hunkering down in fear of financial ruin,

I was adamant that an investment in the recession-proof food service industry would be the perfect addition to my existing retail business portfolio. At the time, the territory I wanted to invest in wasn’t available. But earlier this year the existing Guildford restaurant came up for sale and, with the benefits of an active, loyal customer base, I jumped at the chance.

“I’m so committed to the Creams Cafe business model and the stellar support provided by the head office team that I’m already making the initial steps towards becoming a multiunit operator. As a young entrepreneur, I’m looking forward to seeing where the next decade with Creams will take me. Five years from now, I’d like multiple restaurants and plan to expand internationally too. There’s no limit to what I can achieve as a Creams Cafe restaurant owner, and that’s very exciting for me,” explained Guneet.

Alongside the launch of Guneet’s new venture, over the course of the busy summer period, franchise partner-operated locations have opened in New Haw and Hammersmith. Boosted by national marketing campaigns, such as sundae giveaways during National Ice Cream Week in July, and reaching audiences of over 47 million, additional customers were driven to in-store purchases and online orders.

With over 30 multi-unit franchise partners operating an estate of around 100 locations across the length and breadth of the UK, Creams is primed to reach its target of 500 stores globally in the next five years.

Sustainable Palm Oil Manifesto

https://www.spod-europe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/MANIFESTO_FINAL.pdf

KTC Edibles Ltd, Britain’s largest manufacturer and distributor of edible oils, has further demonstrated its commitment to sustainable palm oil by becoming the first UK company to sign the Sustainable Palm Oil Manifesto.

Launched by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the European Palm Oil Alliance (EPOA), and the IDH (the Sustainable Trade Initiative) – the new manifesto was the result of the fourth Sustainable Palm Oil dialogue which took place in October 2022.

By signing the document, KTC is strengthening its promise to source sustainable palm, while endorsing and implementing the four key aims of the manifesto across its operations. These four aims address issues relating to sourcing, engagement in governance, sustainable production from smallholders and strengthening communication on sustainable palm oil to increase awareness amongst consumers.

The Sustainable Palm Oil Manifesto aims to dispel the myths surrounding palm and highlight the benefits that the sourcing and use of sustainable palm can bring to the planet and its people. Other organisations signing the pledge include leading organisations, charities and food companies from across the globe including Efeca, Ferrero, Henkel, Daabon, MVO, Alliance for the Preservation of Forests and WWF.

Gary Lewis, Chief Commercial Officer at KTC, said:

“We’re committed to leading the way on sustainability by continually building on our current pledges and actively

looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.

“Sustainability starts at the supply chain, so we’re excited to add our name to the signatories list and collaborate with forward-thinking organisations from across the globe to make sustainable palm the standard across our industry.”

Signing the pledge is the latest milestone in KTC Edibles’ extensive sustainability programme. In September 2022, the company announced that it had achieved its ambitious target to offer only 100% segregated certified sustainable palm oil to customers as part of a promise to RSPO Shared Responsibility Initiative.

They also recently became a member of The Sustainable Coconut and Coconut Oil Roundtable and signed the Sustainable Coconut Charter - a voluntary framework which sets a global benchmark for sustainable coconut origins.

The company holds several industry accreditations and certifications, including The Soil Association, The Vegan Society and RSPO (The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil).

Founded in 1972, KTC Edibles employs more than 400 people across two UK sites in Wednesbury and Liverpool. The company supplies more than 250m litres of cooking oils to customers of all sizes across the UK food industry each year.

JJ Foodservice celebrates record sales of £270 million

National wholesaler JJ Foodservice has reported sales of £270m for the year ended March 31st, 2022, up 22.5% on the previous year.

The foodservice wholesaler attributes growth to several factors including the re-opening of the hospitality sector after the coronavirus pandemic and the retention of new consumers gained. In addition, an increase in JJ own brand sales and working closely with suppliers to maintain stock levels, despite supply chain disruptions, contributed to the positive figures.

Same great taste, better value Chief Finance Officer at JJ, Edward Lanham said, “Our customers have recognised the savings they can make by shopping own brand. We have more than 600 private label products, which offer high quality, great value alternatives to many leading brands.”

In the financial year ending March 31, 2022, 36% of total sales came from JJ own-brand products, an increase of 20% for the same period, the previous year.

The own-brand range offers JJ a better gross profit margin, even after passing on some of the savings to customers, thereby contributing significantly to turnover and profits.

Popular own-brand lines include Super Crisp chips, Letsdough bakery and VIVAT water.

Warmer for Longer Chips ¬– part of the Super Crisp chips’ family – were launched at the height of the pandemic to help the buoyant delivery market to keep chips hot in transit. Meanwhile, a host of new lines were added during last year’s supply chain disruptions, including new takeaway boxes and microwaveable containers.

Product availability remained at a robust 98.7% despite the disruptions.

The wholesaler has launched a new own brand page on its website to make it easier for customers to find quality, affordable options during the cost-of-living crisis.
