We may be small
but we’re big on quality
The name of Plumgarths of Kendal is built on the quality of our meat products. Based at the southern gateway to the Lake District our team of 20 dedicated staff supply many of the best hotels, restaurants and cafés throughout Cumbria and Lancashire. Given the great reputation of Cumbrian food and the high standards of those chefs, that says a lot about our meat!
Expertise
People make the difference in any business and ours are a great team. From butchery and production of our meat products to distribution and administration, everyone’s committed to supplying the best and offering great service.
Many of our skilled staff have been with us for a long time gaining great experience and fully understand the high expectations of our Customers.
Our history
The story began almost twenty years ago with the challenge of re-establishing the vital connection between agriculture and the consumer after the challenges of the BSE and Foot & Mouth outbreaks. Plumgarths Farm Shop was opened in 2002 to offer locally-sourced meat and other produce to visitors, South Lakes residents and, of course, the hospitality, retail and education sectors.
Historically, we’re connected to Plumgarths Farm Shop, but, since 2017, Plumgarths of Kendal has been trading independently as a food service company specialising in quality meat.
We’re owned by Steve Chambers, our MD who has 25 years’ experience of supplying quality meat to the hospitality and retail sector.
The Food industry is a great and exciting industry to be involved with and we love it. We have seen really positive changes over the past few years with the interest shown in Provenance and Quality and find ourselves well placed to meet the demands that are rightly made of us.
