Great Taste Awards

We are very proud to now have three Kid Meat cuts awarded a Gold Star from the Great Taste Awards.

Our Cutlets and Whole Leg were both recognised in the 2014 entry. We re-entered in 2016 and we were thrilled when our Boned and Rolled Shoulder received a Gold Star, the judges commented that ‘the flavour of the meat is great’ and ‘a very good flavour, juicy and succulent, this meat is sweet and with real length’.

We applied to the Awards because although we know Kid Meat is delicious it deserves recognition as high-quality beautiful meat and we wanted to prove it by putting it to the test and The Great Taste Awards do exactly that!

Great Taste, the world’s most coveted blind-tasted food awards, which celebrates the very best in food and drink.  Judged by over 500 of the most demanding palates, belonging to food critics, chefs, cooks, restaurateurs and producers as well as a whole host of food writers and journalists, Great Taste is widely acknowledged as the most respected food accreditation scheme for artisan and speciality food producers.
