Our
Story
At à La Carte Meats, our story begins not just in a shop or a factory, but in a family tradition that spans three generations.
Managing Director Geoff Atkinson didn’t choose the meat industry—it chose him.
Growing up in a household where the rhythm of daily life was measured in early-morning market runs, the hum of cold rooms, and the sound of a cleaver on a butcher’s block, Geoff learned the trade not from textbooks, but from bloodlines.
His grandfather was a master butcher, respected in his local community for his meticulous skill and unwavering integrity.
Geoff's father carried the legacy forward while instilling in Geoff the values that matter most: quality, trust, and respect for the craft.
Geoff absorbed every detail—from the anatomy of a cut to the importance of sourcing ethically raised livestock—and with that, a lifelong passion was born.
In 2006, after years of working in both traditional butcheries and large-scale meat operations, Geoff founded À La Carte Meats.
His vision was clear: to combine the art of old-world butchery with the innovation and efficiency of modern food manufacturing. He saw an opportunity to offer something different—quality meats prepared with precision, yet scalable for hospitality and retail sectors.
What began as a small operation focused on custom meat cuts has evolved into a trusted provider of premium, chef-ready meat solutions for businesses across the region.
From gourmet sausages to portion-controlled steaks and value-added products, every item that leaves our facility reflects Geoff’s dedication to excellence.
Under Geoff’s leadership, À La Carte Meats has stayed rooted in tradition while embracing progress. We’ve invested in state-of-the-art equipment, HACCP-accredited food safety systems, and continuous staff training to ensure our products meet the highest standards. But we’ve never lost sight of what sets us apart—our people, our heritage, and our commitment to quality above all.
Today, À La Carte Meats proudly serves an ever-growing base of hospitality clients, butchers, and foodservice distributors who value reliability, consistency, and authenticity. And while the industry has changed, our principles remain the same as they were in Geoff’s grandfather’s day: do the job right, treat your customers with respect, and never compromise on quality.
Welcome to À La Carte Meats—where tradition meets innovation, and where every cut has a story.
