Glendale Foods are dedicated to changing, adapting and evolving with tastes and trends. Our passion for development has seen the company change from a family butcher to a producer of fine meat products, to an innovative, passionate food manufacturer. Over the last year, we have further invested in our manufacturing capabilities, as well as our product development centre, allowing us to work closely with a range of key clients and market sectors. Our pride comes from our quality, and our ability to deliver it in a wealth of varieties to a wealth of industries.
Airline and Travel
For over thirty years, since the acquisition of the international Yankee Brand, we have supplied the airline and travel industry with hot and cold hand held snacks; accounting for over 14 million units per year. There are three essential elements to a travel snack; it must be easy to uniformly re-heat, it must be mess free and fully contained, and, vitally, it must meet the high standards of airline passengers. We produce, pack and package hot and cold hand held snacks, with the ability to packing into an almost limitless number of packaging sizes, styles and functions, including heat-in packaging, which creates an even, consistent heating function, while insulating hands and providing a quick, effortless tidy.
Food Manufacturing and Industry
The right experience mixed with the right manufacturing capabilities means that we can tailor any product to your specific requirements and the markets specific tastes. Having worked closely with a range of food manufacturing New Product Development (NPD) teams, and invested heavily in our own NPD department, we are leading the way in innovative foods. Whether for a bespoke menu or a nationwide distribution, we have the knowledge and expertise to deliver our full ready meals or specialist ingredients, from mini meatballs for pizzas to sliced sausage for sandwiches.

Over the years, many of our own label and branded products have become household favourites. We provide a range of products to national retailers and wholesalers including Lidl, Iceland and Yearsleys, helping them develop their ranges of sausages, suet puddings, microwave meals and hand held snacking items.
