The Team That Lunches Together, Has Fun Together!
The Pacific West team is back from a buzzing few days at Lunch! 2025, and what a show it was! The energy surrounding the food-to-go sector was, as always, incredibly dynamic, underscoring its pivotal role in the UK market.
It was brilliant to catch up with old industry friends and establish plenty of new connections, all keen to discover the next big thing in convenient, high-quality food. The show provided the perfect platform to share our truly innovative fully cooked seafood range, which is specifically engineered for the fast-paced demands of this sector.
Innovation on the Menu: A Fully Cooked Triumph
The centrepiece of our stand was a creative and diverse menu designed and delivered by the brilliant Chef Steve Walpole. Chef Steve showcased the full versatility of the Pacific West fully cooked range, demonstrating how easily operators can incorporate premium seafood into menus without compromising on speed or quality.
The reception to the menu and the range was nothing short of a huge hit, ticking boxes for FTG operators and manufacturers alike. Take a look at the menu, opposite.
Quality That Counts: Sustainability and Compliance
A key message resonating with visitors was the robust quality and compliance behind every Pacific West product. We were delighted to highlight that our range meets the highest industry standards, addressing the critical issues facing modern food businesses:
- Sustainability: We proudly showcased our MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) products, confirming our commitment to responsibly sourced seafood.
- Compliance: Our focus on meeting operators standards was evident, with the Fully Cooked range being HFSS compliant, helping operators navigate the complexities of new health-related regulations.
- Inclusivity: We also reinforced the Halal certification for relevant products, ensuring our innovative range is accessible to the widest possible audience.
- And of course – it all tasted delicious!

Ultimately, the success of any show comes down to the people behind the products. We extend our sincere thanks to the incredible team who worked tirelessly on the Pacific West stand at Lunch! 2025. Your passion, product knowledge, and energy made the event a resounding success.
