HG Walter Named Best Meat Supplier at the Members' Choice Awards 2026

HG Walter has been named Best Meat Supplier at the Members' Choice Awards 2026, a prestigious accolade voted for by hospitality professionals across the UK.

The award recognises the suppliers that consistently deliver outstanding products, exceptional service and trusted support to professional kitchens. Winning the Best Meat Supplier category reflects HG Walter's unwavering commitment to quality, consistency, provenance and craftsmanship, values that have defined the family business for more than 50 years.

A Family Business Built on Quality

HG Walter is a family-run independent butcher founded in West London in 1972 by Peter Heanen. Today, the business is run by his four children – Daniel, Louise, Clare and Adam – who continue to uphold the same principles on which the company was founded.

Quality and consistency remain at the heart of everything HG Walter does, ensuring chefs receive the same exceptional product on every order. Combined with a focus on provenance, heritage and the expertise of its skilled butchers, the company has built long-standing relationships with professional kitchens across the UK.

Craftsmanship from Farm to Kitchen

For HG Walter, exceptional meat begins long before it reaches the butcher's block. The business works closely with trusted farmers and suppliers across the British Isles and beyond, placing great importance on provenance, sustainability and responsible supply chains.

A recent move to a larger warehouse has enabled the company to expand its dry-ageing capacity, allowing whole carcasses to be broken down and matured in dedicated ageing rooms. Every part of the animal is utilised, with trim used for sausages and burgers, bones transformed into stock, and bacon and hams cured in-house, reflecting the company's commitment to making full use of every carcass.

Built on Long-Term Relationships

HG Walter has supplied some of the country's leading restaurants for more than two decades, building trusted relationships with chefs through consistent quality and dependable service.

The company believes these partnerships are built over time, working closely with customers to understand their kitchens and provide products they can rely on every day.

Investing in People

The continued success of HG Walter is driven by its team. The business places great importance on recruiting skilled people and investing in training, ensuring traditional butchery knowledge and expertise are passed on to future generations.

Beyond its own business, HG Walter also supports a number of local charities and not-for-profit organisations, reflecting its belief that successful businesses should give something back to their local community.

More than 50 years after it was founded, the company's ambition remains unchanged: to provide every professional chef and home cook with exceptional products and service that help create exceptional food.
