The importance of a high-quality airline meat supplier
Supplying airlines with the best quality wholesale meat for their journeys
Airline food has a bad wrap. But, with the right airline meat supplier it doesn’t have to be that way. Your inflight menus can say a lot about your airline so provide your passengers with a first class service that will ensure they tell their friends and book flights as soon as they land.
This month, IMS of Smithfield take a look at how your inflight food can get creative with the right airline meat supplier.
The traditional history of airline food
Most of us will have come across an inflight meal at some point in our lives and even for those who haven’t, we are sure you would have heard about it. Airline food traditionally has a bad reputation unless you are lucky enough to fly first or business class. Generally, for those who fly economy, you will be served with a snack pack or convenience bag that leaves a lot to be desired.
We have to spare a thought for those busy flight attendants. Preparing meals for all who are onboard can be a near impossible task, even when the main bulk of the meals have been prepared on the ground level by catering teams. An inflight meal can make or break that customer expectation so its important for all teams involved, from caterers to meal planners and attendants to get the level of service and taste correct.
Airline food doesn’t have to taste bland and boring
Whilst its no secret that airline food isn’t always great, IMS of Smithfield are hear to tell you that with the right airline meat suppliers, this doesn’t have to be the case. Caterers can create the most amazing flavours and dishes. This all starts with the quality of meat you work with. From 3 course complimentary meals served in business class, to convenience sandwiches and snacks in economy, creating and serving good quality food doesn’t have to stop when you leave the ground.
As an airline meat supplier, IMS of Smithfield know the importance of getting your inflight meals right and leaving your passengers raving for all the right reasons. Our quality meats are all sourced from local, reputable farmers and suppliers, meaning you can trace your menu choices right back to grass roots – and even visit those farms if you wish. IMS of Smithfield have a great reputation for providing meats to a variety of clients including venues, 5 star hotels and Michelin star restaurants.
