Fresh Food Manufacturing

Throughout the festive season, it’s all hands on deck within our Booths Fresh Manufacturing department based in Preston, Lancashire. From scrumptious roasts to our iconic Pig In Blankets, the Booths team have so much to prepare to create delicious festive feasts.

We pride ourselves on working closely with local farms across Booths Country to provide high quality produce, like our delicious festive beef joints, for those who prefer something different to traditional turkey. Our 35 Day Dry Aged Rolled Sirloin Boneless Joint is made with 100% British Beef and dry aged in a chamber lined with Himalayan rock salt. 

Each year the Booths team produces thousands of our famous Pigs In Blankets and Cumberland Swirls, made with the highest quality pork sausages. While there are machines to wrap up them up, we make ours by hand, ensuring each PIB is perfectly prepped and ready for your Christmas dinner. We’ve now got an even bigger range of tasty trimmings, with our selection of stuffings and our new Caramelised Onion Pigs In Blankets.

From stunning sides to showstopping mains, it’s unsurprising there's a lot of planning that goes into Christmas. For our team, it starts in January so here at Booths it really is Christmas all year round! 

Lead Buyer, David Simons, said “Buying meat for Booths is the best job in retail. Booths owns lambs on Ian Knights farm in Cumbria which we sell on our Butchers counter, true farm to fork. We buy saltmarsh lamb direct from two farms in Cumbria, owned by Mr Stuart Wilson and Mr William Case. All the meat on our Butchers counter is sourced from farms in Booths Country and processed in Booths Country also. The Beef, Lamb, Pork, Sausage and Ready to Cook Meat in our chilled cabinets is all butchered and packed in Booths Manufacturing site in Preston which is next to our office. Being so close to what I buy, and sell is key to the quality on sale in our stores.”
