Linden Foods in recent years has developed into a market leader within the Northern Ireland fresh meat processing industry, sourcing and processing top quality beef and lamb.

The company which is part of the Linden Food Group currently services a wide range of retail multiples, their dedicated convenience food manufacturers, the catering and foodservice sectors, and the wider meat packing industry in UK and Europe.

Linden Foods constantly strive to exceed industry quality standards. Our level of commitment to growing and improving our business can be seen throughout our investment in plant and equipment.

We have a portfolio of products ranging from full primals and retail packs to individual fixed weight portions of steak cuts. From Aberdeen Angus and Extra Matured Beef to Gourmet Style Burgers and Veal (from our own veal procurement scheme) we have made significant investments to meet all our customer needs.

In February 2009 Linden Foods launched an innovative product, Banquet Royale Rose Veal, as an ethical alternative to traditional white veal for top restaurants seeking meat with a rich flavour, delicate texture and exceptional eating experience.
