At Leonards Ingredients, we’ve always believed that quality, consistency and service are what make great products — and great partnerships. As a second-generation, family-run business now into our fourth decade, supplying the food and butchery trade is in our DNA.
From the very beginning, our purpose has been simple: to simplify life for the value-added food sector with reliable ingredients and expert support. That’s why so many of our blends have become staples on butcher counters up and down the UK — loved for their performance, flavour and practical versatility.
Time-Tested and Trade-Trusted: Our Legacy Range
Some products become classics for good reason — they work, they sell, and they bring customers back through the door. Our legacy range has stood that test of time. These are the blends that have been part of butcher counters for years:
Old English – a heritage sausage mix known for its familiar profile and broad appeal.
Lamburger – a favourite in lamb season, delivering depth and balance that butchers return to again and again.
Original Spicy Kebab – a classic kebab blend with character and punch that keeps it above the competition. Also, our OG product.
These classic blends aren’t just products — they’re part of the legacy that connects generations of butcheries. Time-honoured, versatile and consistently delivering what the trade expects, they sit alongside our broader range of mixes, glazes and seasoning solutions.
A Heritage of Supporting Butchers
Leonards was founded out of a desire to bring back a personal, service-driven approach to ingredients supply — something the industry had lost in a move toward generic, impersonal service. That ethos still guides us today: quality products backed by knowledgeable support, designed to work as hard as you do.
For decades, butchers have relied on our blends because they deliver consistency in production, flavour profiles that customers recognise, and the reassurance that comes with working alongside a partner who understands the trade.
See Them in Person at Plumpton
We’ll be showcasing our legacy range — alongside expertise and product support — at the upcoming Plumpton Trade Show. It’s a great chance to see, smell and discuss these classic blends face-to-face with the team. Whether you’ve used these products for years or you’re exploring new ideas for your counter range, come and say hello.
