What We Do

We specialise in high quality, bespoke, sous vide cooked food production. Using water bath technology, precise temperature controls, and culinary creativity; we sous vide cook a wide range of products to meet customers’ specific requirements.

All our recipes are bespoke and individually created. No conveyor belt assembly lines here! Each product is carefully made, cooked to precise times and temperatures to achieve optimum eating quality. We then chill and hand pack in readiness for delivery.

We supply to various customers from home consumers, to semi-skilled chef, to top-end chefs alike. The aim is never to de-skill, but to provide busy chefs with a product that eases some of their daily stresses in the kitchen and on the pass.

Let us do the hard work, and keep yours as the finely skilled work. What grubworkz offer is a product that gives chefs more time and resources for you to do less of what you have to do, and more time to express their culinary innovation.

“Working with tom at Grubworkz is one of those rare occasions where a customer becomes and colleague and then a friend. As the food industry gets more and more complex and difficult, integrity and quality are hard to find. These are two elements at the core of Grubworkz and shine through in the quality of the product they produce for us.”

“A really professional, personal and reliable company to deal with. We have used Grubworkz high quality products for restaurant service and for larger numbers for VIP functions at Saucy Flo’s Restaurant @ Canterbury Rugby Club where we are based. The Confit Duck is possibly one of the best dishes we have ever put on our menu over the time we have dealt with Grubworkz.”

The boys at Grubworkz have offered us at field & flower the opportunity to bring the best of our range to the next level with their expertise on the sous vide process. Not only can they produce the product regularly and consistently, but they are always open to new ideas, present new ideas of their own and do everything they can to assist us in constantly innovating and working with what we have around us.

Steven’s knowledge of the industry, creativity and awareness of macro trends paired with Tom’s resourcefulness and innovation create a package that, we think, you wouldn’t find anywhere else.
