Welcome to the University Food Group

Country Cooked International 

Three food businesses in one, including Country Cooked International, University Meats and Service Sphere. Country Cooked International, is a cooked food manufacturer specialising in meat with the ability to create custom products and adjust our services from cuts, to flavouring for foodservice and retail. 

As a company, we are very diverse in our offerings, these diverse arms have been slowly fostered and strengthened over time due to our experience and long-standing history in the industry. As a small family business that began as a small butcher shop in the 1960s and now has evolved into a foodservice wholesaler of cooked meat with added value. We support our customers in foodservice by offering them support and flexibility when it comes to our product offerings.

Our key benefits are that we provide you with savings where your largest cost is which most people in the industry agree is labour. 

Other benefits include:

Food Safety requirements will always be met: When preparing food, basic food safety is keeping raw and cooked products separate including the utensils being used. Everything that comes out of our factory is cooked, this eliminates raw and cooked contamination.

Logistics: We have relationships with many distributors nationwide and offer delivery to every state enabling consistency across stores.

Savings on Labor: With our products your staff just need to assemble, heat: hot or cold and serve. No need to employ multiple skilled workers.

Quality products: Producing quality doesn’t have to be hard work, we produce natural products with no E number ready to be heated and served.

One Protein Supplier: We have you covered for Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Pork, Duck and Turkey. One invoice for all your protein needs, including vegetarian options.

Minimising Equipment Cost: Our products require three simple steps: assemble, heat and serve. There is no need for big, bulky expensive equipment for cooking proteins.

New Product Development: We are very flexible and available to create new products to suit your menu without the associated cost. We understand this involves tweaking and revision to get the products perfect.

Versatility of Products: In our core range most products are plain so that you can add the finishing touches and make it your own.

Inventory Control and Storage: You can draw from stock we manufacture specifically for you as needed, this is helpful to smaller customers.

Our New Product Development program, allows us to help business by custom manufacturing products. We work to provide creative solutions that bring value to our customers.

Another arm of our offering is our retail brand.
