This morning we’re continuing our look inside the 2019 product brochure – this time, focussing on our food-to-go sandwich concepts.

You’ll find everything you need to know about our range of tasty lunchtime eats on pages 8-9.

We have 3 ranges of sandwich concepts to choose from, each aimed at a different consumer, helping you take advantage of every opportunity. These are all designed to be made in advance, then kept in the fridge so your customers can grab and go – helping you manage staffing, time and reducing the queues during the lunchtime rush! All of our ranges come with their own POS, detailing calorie and nutritional information, as well as build guides – these are step-by-step guides, with pictures, meaning anyone of your staff can pick up the manual and create perfect results every time.

The Most Wanted range includes classic flavours, such as Tuna Mayo, Chicken Mayo & Bacon and BBQ Pulled Pork, served on either a malted wheat baguette or a white baguette. Our Most Wanted range is also a part of the offering for our food-to-go all-in-one solution, giving you a complete set up to start offering food to go in your business.

Eat the World features flavours from across the globe: our team travelled the world to bring you the tastiest eats and breads from the USA, Australia and beyond. Flavours include the vegetarian Hot Falafel – spicy roquito peppers with falafel, yoghurt, jalapeños and avocado; The Aussie – turkey, avocado, beetroot and spinach and the PPP – BBQ pulled pork on our pretzel bun, with coleslaw and pickles.

The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread showcases some of our more inventive breads, such as our focaccia sheet, filled with salami, mozzarella, pesto, sun blush tomatoes and rocket; our beetroot wrap, filled with cajun chicken and peppers – guaranteed to be an eye-catcher!

If you want to find out more about any of our sandwich ranges, Nom Stop, or any of our other food to go products – you can speak with your sales rep, or call the office on 0141 353 6777.

Our new 2019 product brochure contains a full product list, featuring all your favourites and loads of new products.

We wanted to give our customers something more than that – so we’ve created a handful of Taste Sensations – delicious recipes and quick serving-suggestions, which help you save time and offer your customers something different from their usual eats.

On page 18 you’ll find a delicious Mexican spread, simply serve up a variety of our ready-to-serve Mexican options and you’ll have a fantastic platter which you can serve as a main meal or sharing course, just adjust the quantities as you need.

Why not mix it up? We offer a range of ready made foods (p.50-52) including buffet options, quiche and sweet canapés – perfect for your next party buffet!

Our next Taste Sensation features succulent roast beef, paired with some sides which will help you stand out from the crowd. We like ours with fries, pesto and some sliced pepper, but you can choose from our wide range of vegetables (p.63 – 65) nothing should be off limits!

If you’re looking to cut-down on your meat intake, have a look for our vegan and vegetarian symbols throughout the brochure. We are always on the lookout for new, exciting products, especially those who help you offer on-trend options to your customers. Keep your eyes peeled for some exciting vegan promotions and new products over the coming weeks.

On page 37 we have another staff favourite – seafood pasta. One of our colleagues eats this pretty much every week! (Thanks for the recipe Nikki!)

As with all our recipes, you can adapt this to work for you. Why not add some flakes of hot smoked salmon? Or serve alongside some grilled seabass? These recipes are fantastic as they are, but all it takes is a little tweak here and there to personalise and make it your own.

The final Taste Sensation is a middle-eastern Shakshuka – eggs baked a tomato and mixed vegetable sauce.

If you can get your hands on some fresh parsley, this will add an extra freshness to the dish, but if you’re using our products, you’re still able to make something really tasty. This is ideal served as a soup alternative for lunch and tastes just as good from the fridge the next morning, if making at home.

We added these Taste Sensations to the brochure to give you a taste of what you can create, purely using products available from the Lomond 2019 brochure. We hope you enjoy trying them out.

What a start to 2019 – our new brochure is on it’s way to you all and we’ve had a busy few weeks already. It’s set to be a really exciting year here at Lomond – with our Taste 2019 trade show in May and various on-trend product launches happening soon. We’re looking forward to a fantastic year.

The first big news of 2019 is the arrival of our new brochure. It should be on it’s way to you now, but before it arrives, we wanted to share some sneak peeks with you and let you know about some of the features you’ll find inside.

On pages 6 – 7 you’ll find a feature on our new, all-in-one food-to-go solution – Nom Stop. 

Pages 6-7 of our 2019 brochure, showing Nom Stop information.

We’ve done things a bit differently and made things a lot easier for you – we take care of everything from initial surveys, installation and equipment to product build guides, menu display and the food you sell. 

As well as a fridge, freezer and hot hold, ambient & chill cabinets, we also supply you with a panini grill, bain-marie for soup and a Merrychef high-speed oven – allowing you to heat and serve a wide range of products. All of these options mean that you can serve a wide range of products, keeping your customers happy and coming back for more.

We provide ongoing support from our sales, technical and creative teams, meaning you can focus on selling the food while we take care of the rest. We will provide you with branded aprons and greaseproof paper, product imagery and USB menus – bespoke to you and your product range.

It can be a minefield trying to navigate the set-up on your own, making sure you have waste management in place, properly training your staff and making sure the products are made to the same standard time and time again – our in-house technical team will train you on food safety, provide you with allergen guides and product builds, taking the hassle out of setting up food-to-go.

Our first Nom Stop is launching next Tuesday 22nd January, in Millerston. Keep your eyes on our social media to find out more about our launch offers and see how the first Nom Stop opening has gone.
