The foodservice and catering butchery sectors have been as badly hit as any other area in thecurrent recession and worse hit than some. Companies operating in the foodservicesector that specialise mainly in meat supply have suffered a doublewhammy, as people are 
tightening their belts and eating out less, and a shortage of red meat saw prices rocket last year, leading to many restaurants to review their menu offerings. Many have taken one of three routes: they have either cut portion sizes offered, reduced the amount of meat on the menu or, in the worst-case scenario, taken meat off the menu completely. Many restaurants in the middle market have closed.
