Moy Park creates new casual dining range


Moy Park Foodservice is introducing an exclusive new Casual Dining Range – a ten-strong line up of chicken products created to help operators take a slice of the £5bn market for de-formalised dining.

From unique British Chicken Ballotine and Katsu Curry Chicken Melts to Buttermilk Wings and Smoky BBQ Chicken Shanks, the chef-inspired innovations have been developed and perfected following extensive trend research to help keep operators one step ahead in a burgeoning market.

With the demand for chicken showing little sign of slowing – chicken is eaten on a staggering 6.3 billion occasions a year* - the new range is a win-win for operators looking to profit.

Frannie Santos-Mawdsley, Senior Customer Marketing Manager, European Foodservice, Moy Park, explains, “In the dynamic, fast paced world of casual dining there is a consumer expectation for food concepts that offer something new and exciting. Backed by a weight of insight, our new Casual Dining Range offers busy kitchens just that! An innovative, consistent and fresh take on chicken, adding personality and profitability to menus.

“Tapping into key trends such as Americana, street-food and spiciness as well as traditional British favourites with a twist, the range enables busy kitchens to quickly and simply create standout dishes that don’t compromise on taste and quality – the biggest consumer driver of them all!”

Moy Park Foodservice’s Casual Ding Range consist of ten products including: new Chicken Ballotine - succulent British Red Tractor chicken thigh, de-boned, filled with a tasty pork, sage and onion stuffing and wrapped in bacon. A traditional mini roast with a seriously premium twist that taps into the popular carvery market.
