East Anglian contract catering firm, Edwards & Blake is launching its own branded ‘Street’ range of food across all their catering sites this month.
The new ‘Street’ range is designed to be a delicious, funky, freshly cooked range of conveniently packaged food that can be eaten in a school, staff restaurant or ‘on the go’. These include Street Wraps, Street Pots and Street Hot Boxes, which are available in a mouth watering selection of flavours. Some of the more popular dishes include the Pulled Pork & Charred Pepper BBQ Pasta Pot, Pesto Roasted Tomato & Pumpkin Seed Hot box, and an Indian Wrap with Spicy Chicken and Mango Salsa. (A full list of the new range can be found below).
Some of the dishes incorporate a variety of interesting and less well-known ingredients such as Japanese bread crumbs (Panko) that keep their crunch so chicken can be oven baked rather than fried, black onion seeds that add extra flavour and Khobez, a traditional Indian flat bread adding authenticity to the Indian wraps.
The boxes, pots and wraps come in colourful, distinctive, festival inspired designed packaging that will appeal to adults and children alike.
Appealing to a broad range of customers
Shirley Edwards, Managing Director of Edwards & Blake comments: “This new range epitomises our business philosophy of continuous innovation, client collaboration and customer service. These elements are key to our growth and this new range is a result of all three working together. Our development department has worked hard in-house and with feedback from our clients we have created a range of exciting, interesting flavours and combinations that are really tasty and that will appeal to a broad range of customers.”
Daniel McClelland, Food Development Chef at Edwards and Blake comments: “Innovation is at the core of what we do as a company and I’m delighted to have led the development of the Street range for Edwards and Blake. It is the culmination of an inspiring journey with our chefs and our clients to create a groundbreaking range of flavours and dishes”.
Owned and managed by Shirley Edwards and Caroline Blake, the company is based in Swaffham in Norfolk. It looks after over 85 contracts and has over 500 staff.
