Operators can win £1,500 for spotlighting duck on menus

Operators are being offered the chance to win £1,500 of products and cooking kit as part of Gressingham Foods’ launch of two sous vide products.

The new Gressingham Sous Vide Duck Breast and Gressingham Sous Vide Confit Duck Leg are designed to make it simple for chefs and hospitality operators to offer premium duck dishes across a range of menus.

The prize is £500 worth of the new products for hospitality operators, along with a £1,000 voucher to buy new catering equipment. Also on offer is a second prize of a duck hamper including a selection of products and premium cookware with a value of £150.

Rebecca Alderton, marketing manager of East Anglia-based Gressingham Foods, said: “We’re very proud of the quality and consistency these sous vide products offer, and our exclusive competition gives the lucky winners the chance to see for themselves how straightforward it is to offer popular and profitable duck dishes.

“The first prize includes enough Gressingham products to serve at least 400 customers, enabling the winner to run a special themed duck dining evening, or to feature duck dishes on the specials board across a busy weekend.”

Both new products are made with Gressingham Foods Red Tractor Assured duck from the family-owned business’s farms, prepared by the brand’s chefs before being vacuum-sealed for freshness.

Alderton added: “The cuts are the highest quality and prepared to perfection before being sealed. Once ordered, they can be reheated and served from the kitchen in the time it takes for the guest to enjoy a pre-dinner drink or a starter.”

The competition is open to chefs and hospitality operators, with a closing date of 18 July 2025.

To enter, register on the Gressingham Foodservice website.

The winners will be announced on 28 July 2025.
