Our team

Established in 1981, Burts has grown to become one of the South coast’s leading catering butchers. We believe this is down to our original philosophy; to provide the best quality produce and the customer service to match.

Our purpose-built, state-of-the-art premises are some of the most up-to-date and advanced in the whole of the south of England.

Our cutting facility has dedicated areas for red, white and game meat and our FSA approval (number UK2541 EC) means we’re kept up to date about – and comply with – all changes in the law.

Vehicle Fleet

We operate our own fleet of temperature-controlled vehicles which are all serviced regularly and changed on a 3-5 year cycle where possible to maintain efficiency.

Every vehicle is tracked with live updates, so we can pinpoint a van’s position down to a couple of metres and can see exactly when deliveries are being made. All our vehicles are equipped with data loggers that record the internal temperature throughout the whole journey, so you know your produce has been stored at the right temperature at all times.

For customers outside our delivery area, we supply via our dedicated chilled haulage company Nagel Langdon’s.
