Welcome to Yorkshire
Published on September 10th, 2026
•A poultry business in the Yorkshire Wolds is celebrating a significant milestone this year. Soanes Poultry, based in Middleton on the Wolds, proudly marks the anniversary of its contract with Slimming World Kitchen, which has allowed them to supply their award-winning chicken for the popular subscription-based recipe boxes.
Partnership with Slimming World
Soanes Poultry was invited to join forces with Slimming World Kitchen last year, providing branded chicken fillets for their healthy recipe boxes. This collaboration has proven successful, as the demand for low-calorie protein has led to the addition of new products, including lean thigh meat and sliced and diced fillets.
Ben Lee, the Managing Director of Soanes Poultry, expressed pride in the partnership:
“We’re now proud to supply 100% of the chicken used in Slimming World Kitchen's delicious, nutritious recipe boxes.”
The recipe boxes offer a variety of 20 different dishes each week, showcasing fresh ingredients and a strong emphasis on chicken-based meals. Some of the standout options include Saucy Jerk Chicken with Chips and Slaw and Tandoori Chicken with Kachumber Rice and Minty Raita. These meals not only cater to health-conscious customers but also highlight the quality of Yorkshire-reared chicken.
Quality Ingredients Matter
Allison Brentnall, the director of food at Slimming World Kitchen, praised Soanes Poultry for their commitment to quality.
“We pride ourselves on using high-quality, fresh ingredients in our Slimming World Kitchen boxes - which is why we have happily worked with Soanes for the past 12 months.”
The positive feedback from customers regarding the quality of the poultry is a testament to this collaboration, as keeping customers satisfied is the primary goal for Slimming World Kitchen.
Soanes Poultry's Legacy
Founded in 1947 by Tom Soanes, Soanes Poultry has established a strong reputation for rearing and preparing high-quality chicken. The company supplies its Yorkshire-reared chicken to butchers and independent retailers throughout the region, as well as to wholesalers and catering butchers across the country. This long-standing tradition of quality and dedication to local sourcing has made Soanes Poultry a trusted name in the industry. In addition to their partnership with Slimming World Kitchen, Soanes Poultry is also the sole supplier of chicken to the rapidly expanding Sides Hot Chicken Restaurants. The brand has successfully opened a new branch in Glasgow, joining its existing locations in London and Manchester. This growth signifies the increasing popularity of their chicken dishes, further solidifying Soanes Poultry's position in the market.
