The Chef's Kitchen

Supporting our industry

The foodservice industry has been deeply affected by the coronavirus outbreak, with businesses forced to close without any certainty of reopening, many jobs lost and people’s livelihoods literally hanging in the balance. Many have found themselves now unemployed or having to face permanent closure, which foreshadows a detrimental blow to the economy at large. Never has it been more important for people, businesses and brands to show support and work together to ensure our industry survives the turbulent climate we face.

We know times are tough for our industry, but at Arla Pro we’re determined to carry on cooking. That's why we’ve teamed up with independent operators that, like many, have been hit hard by the coronavirus crisis. We aim to not only support them during these testing times, but to inspire chefs all over the world to keep their passion for great food alive. 

Watch as Jason Calcutt, Executive Chef for Arla Pro creates delicious dishes with Arla Pro Grilling Cheese.

Meet Pas, Owner of Cut + Grind

For the team at Cut + Grind, creating the perfect burger is science. They select, cut and grind the beef in-house to achieve the highest-quality blend each and every time. In 2018 Cut + Grind won the National Burger Awards with one of their most popular burgers, the “Juicy Classic”, which was awarded Best Burger in Britain. Many of their ingredients are made and prepared in-house. From the freshly ground beef to the homemade ketchup, they believe this adds up to achieving the perfect burger.
