Why use Authentic Ready Meal Solutions?
Portion Control
When preparing a meal from scratch your recipe is likely to vary as you use what you have available and is most convenient at the time.
Our ready meals are checked at various stages of the cooking process by our executive chefs, enabling you to guarantee that meals will have the same authentic taste from month to month with portion size guaranteed.
Convenience
It can be time-consuming cooking a meal from scratch.
Our meal solutions can be regenerated directly from frozen or chilled making the process a whole lot quicker, and creating less waste. Ideal for those unexpected occurrences like coach parties or staff sickness. We have already done the research and developed the product, giving your team time to use their expertise elsewhere.
Culinary Expertise
Your chefs may have good general knowledge of different cuisines.
At Authentic we have a select team of chefs, each an expert in a particular cuisine, ensuring you get only the best and most authentic dishes.
Ingredients
Sourcing ingredients from local suppliers is great, but are local suppliers consistent when delivering ingredients, and do they have the knowledge and expertise for full traceability?
At Authentic all suppliers are audited to ensure high standards of product and full traceability should this be necessary.
Do you often find yourself looking for ingredients but can’t source them as they are out of season?
Our ready meals contain seasonal ingredients which can be enjoyed everyday as they are frozen and have a long shelf life.

Equipment
Do you have limited preparation space or do you find yourself constantly surrounded by clutter in the kitchen?
Our frozen ready meals are ready to cook in the microwave or oven and can be served immediately - no dishes, pots and pans to worry about!
Cost
The cost of labour, time and amenities can make producing meals from scratch an expensive process.
Using ready meals is more cost effective as you will not need to source and stock all the ingredients, which can be very time consuming for your catering team. Staff skill level and numbers can also be reduced as our meal solutions require less culinary expertise and fewer kitchen staff for preparation.
Health & Hygiene
Preparing homemade meals from scratch requires a high level of staff diligence in order to comply with current health and safety laws.
Using Authentic ready meals reduces the risk of health and hygiene issues arising, as there is no handling of raw ingredients and any issues can be passed back to the producer.
Allergen Advice & Nutritional Information
With an increased consumer awareness in nutrition and health a growing number of consumers are demanding to know more about what is contained within their food.
Authentic can provide detailed nutritional information and allergen advice on each and every product we produce so you have the information at your fingertips when you need it.
