We are one of the leading specialist catering butchers in the East Midlands.   We are Mainstream Foods Ltd, established in 1954 by the father of our current Managing Director, Martin Pick.  Martin has taken the business from its early conception of being a wholesale supplier to retail outlets, to its current position,  supplying the catering trade with the finest quality meat and meat products,  in the East Midlands/South Yorkshire and beyond. 

We pride ourselves with supplying our customers with the finest quality cuts of beef, pork, lamb and poultry.  Our extensive range is complemented by a wide variety of game, naturally cooked meats, traditional award winning sausages and pies, all prepared to the highest standard and specification by our skilled and experienced butchers and production team.
