You may have seen that Britain’s Got Talent is back on TV… Therefore the public know about the show, brand, and imagery around it.

We still have a very limited supply of our popular ‘Britain’s Got Taste’ menu/price posters.

If you would like one for your shop, just contact us by email or phone and we’ll get one to you asap.  Your Wholesaler may have some already so ask them when you place your next order.

Everyone at Double A thinks that our kebab is worthy of a full four yes’s.
Let your customers be the judge for themselves.  You’ll end up winning their custom for years to come

A suprise guest appeared on the Double A Kebab stand at the Fry I.T show organised by Friars Pride.  When Chef Gordon tried his hand at cutting a kebab a few people suggested that he should either practice a little more or stick to his more fancy fare!

In reality,..Chef Gordon was actually a ‘look-alike’ who attended the show to promote Middleton’s batter products.  As well as looking like Gordon Ramsey, Martin Jordan entertained the crowds with witty comments and outbursts which really made people look 2 or 3 times before they realised he wasn’t the real thing.

As you are no doubt aware, there has been a lot of media activity regarding the recent discovery of horsemeat in products which have been incorrectly labelled.  This has led to some hard questions being asked of businesses supplying meat based products to the catering industry and retail outlets.

As a kebab manufacturer, we feel that we should reassure our business partners and customers that we have safeguards in place to stop any such mistakes happening in our production process.

Some of the issues in the media have been caused by a manufacturer taking delivery of, and producing product with, a meat which they trusted to be one species but is actually another. And that this has happened over several months without detection.

Double A Kebab conduct a full analysis of products on a fortnightly basis.  This involves us submitting samples of products manufactured for record of meat content, species testing and ingredient percentage.  This test is conducted by ILS in Derby who are a highly regarded laboratory working within the meat manufacturing trades amongst others.

If any test was to return an alert to incorrect species, we would be able to quarantine the stock and recall any product which had already left the building.

We try to avoid any chance of using inferior meats by buying the best meat on the market.  We only purchase meats from reputable suppliers.  The horsemeat scandal seems to be linked back to poor supplies of meat from some European countries.  Double A Kebab uses UK sourced Beef from only 2 of the UK’s most trusted meat agents.  Our Lamb is purchased direct from New Zealand.  We have been aware of the potential poor quality of European sourced meats and have not been tempted to use it even when it would make financial sense to do so.

Even with these safeguards in place, since the News stories broke we have already instigated a thorough inspection of our quality control and recall procedures.

Double A Kebab are part of the Primary Authority Principle (PAP) which allows us to work hand in hand with the Environmental Health Services and Trading Standards.  A meeting took place last week with Trading Standards to ensure that we can recall and quarantine products quickly and to recognise any issues with meat supplied to us prior to manufacture. The meeting also confirmed that our ILS species tests were up to date and satisfactory.

As far as we are aware, Double A Kebab is the only kebab manufacturer to be a part of PAP and work with the authorities in such a close way.
(More information regarding PAP can be seen here

We hope that this may answer any questions regarding species testing and meat purchasing. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01623 422888 or info@doubleakebab.co.uk

The Double A Kebab exhibition stand has evolved over the last few years to better represent the new look brand.  Last weekend saw another update as we displayed the new logo on the back boards for the first time.  And we are not the only people who liked it.

The judges at the Henry Colbeck ‘What’s Cooking’ show awarded Double A with second best presented stand at the show.

The picture shows the stand on ‘set up’ day.  We tried to take a picture on event day but there wasn’t a time when the stand was clear of people enjoying the samples that were prepared and served throughout the day.

You can see the stand and sample the famous Double A Kebab blend of meat and spices at the ‘Fry I.T’ show promoted by Friars Pride

This event is on the 17th February at the Kent Event Centre, Kent Showground in Maidstone. ME14 3JF.

If you are in the area, please come and try our kebab for yourself.

The free tickets are available from Friars Pride www.friarspride.com

We saw this online and thought it was a ‘Good News’ story.

Spotted on ‘The Local’ website which is a Swedish Newspaper in English

“The kebab pizza has topped Online Pizza’s survey for the past four years.”

Take a look for yourself!  http://www.thelocal.se/45334/20121229/

Try Double A Instant on your pizza, or maybe combine your Kebab and Pizza sales to create a new product line.  It seems that the Swedish love it, I’m sure the rest of the world will catch on.

Manufacturing the perfect kebab takes a lot of energy.  The mixing of meat and spices is one thing, but the freezing and storage requires a huge amount of electricity.

When the opportunity arose to fit solar panels to the roof came along, it was a no-brainer.  Double A Kebab have installed panels on the roof of the main building in Mansfield and are currently generating power for the freezers.  When the sun comes out we can even send some back into the national grid.

All we need now is for someone to blow the rain clouds away and we can really generate some power!
