CRANSTON’S BUTCHER WINS Q GUILD AWARD
Award-winning Cumbrian butchers Cranstons have won more top prizes for their products in the Q Guild’s 2009 Smithfield Awards.
The awards are among the most highly coveted in the meat industry and a true indication of excellence. More than 500 products from Q members throughout the UK were assessed by an independent panel of experts.
Cranstons Quality Butchers won three gold and one bronze award. The gold awards were presented for their Steak Burger, Dry Cured Back Bacon and their Chicken Kiev with Garlic Butter which really impressed the judges and scored an outstanding 99%.
At a special lunch and awards ceremony in Butchers Hall, London in November, TV chef and restaurateur Brian Turner presented Cranstons Production Manager Hazel Wright with the awards.
Hazel said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive these awards. It is fantastic for our business as the Smithfield Awards are envied throughout the trade, adding value and prestige to any product fortunate enough to win. As a Q Guild member we regard ourselves as among the best butchers in Britain and this proves we have the products to match.”
All the award winning products are on sale at Cranstons Cumbrian Food Hall in Penrith and in other Cranstons stores.
The Q Guild represents some of the finest independent meat retailers in Britain. Q butchers have to pass a regular audit of all aspects of their business to become members. The audit is conducted by the international inspection agency EFSIS. The Q stands for quality and consumers can be assured of quality meat, meat products, hygiene and service when they shop at a Q butcher.
