Royal seal of approval for butcher Aubrey Allen

LEAMINGTON Spa and Coventry butchery business Aubrey Allen has received the Royal Warrant to The Queen as a supplier of meat, poultry and game.

The official Royal Appointment has resulted from Aubrey Allen supplying the Royal household at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Sandringham and The Queen’s other private residences, with a wide range of meats, poultry and game products since 2007.

The warrant has taken effect from 1st January 2013 and has been granted for a five year period. The family run butchery business joins around 800 other Royal Warrant holders. 

Russell Allen, managing director of Aubrey Allen, said: “It is the ultimate honour to be awarded a Royal Warrant and represents the most prestigious stamp of quality and reliability. 

“Being granted the Royal Warrant in the year that marks the 60th anniversary of HM The Queen’s Coronation is particularly special.

“We’re absolutely thrilled and delighted to receive this recognition at the start of such a special year, which also marks our 80th birthday celebrations for the business that my grandfather Aubrey Allen founded in 1933. 

“Our relationship with the Royal Household goes way beyond the last five years and in fact back to our first involvement with the Royal Show held at Stoneleigh Park in 1989.” 

The Royal chef  Mark Flanagan, who manages a team of 30 staff, including 21 chefs, has also visited Aubrey Allen’s shop and delicatessen in Leamington Spa, and last year Bob Spring, Aubrey Allen’s head butcher, held a meat masterclass for Flanagan and his team at Buckingham Palace.
