Rockvale Poultry is one of Northern Ireland’s most respected chicken producers, supplying premium fresh poultry to leading retailers, restaurants, and foodservice providers. Established over 30 years ago, Rockvale is a second-generation family business that takes a hands-on approach to every stage of production.
Their chickens are 100% Northern Irish, reared on carefully managed farms across County Armagh. Animal welfare is a top priority of the team, with all birds raised in naturally ventilated, low-density housing, given high-quality feed, and monitored daily to ensure optimal conditions, allowing the chickens to have the space and conditions to grow and to thrive.
Rockvale is a BRC Grade A accredited supplier, meaning their processing and food safety standards meet the highest international benchmarks. Their facilities use cutting-edge technology to ensure traceability, freshness, and consistency, allowing the birds to be processed, packed, and distributed within 24 hours, guaranteeing exceptional freshness.
Our Executive Chefs and Food & Beverage team visited the Rockvale facility to see exactly where our chicken is coming from. Walking through the farms and production areas, it was clear that the team at Rockvale use their expertise to ensure the utmost care at every stage of the process. From biosecurity protocols to on-site quality control labs, Rockvale’s operation is built around delivering the very best.
Our chefs wanted to explore a supplier that would offer more versatility, greater flavour, and, most importantly, a way to further support local farming. After months of tasting, talking, and touring, Rockvale Poultry stood out as a partner that shares our standards of exceptional quality, animal welfare, and local pride.
This is food you can feel good about, knowing it comes from a family business just down the road, and that by choosing it, you’re helping to support jobs, farms, and food traditions right here in Northern Ireland.
By partnering with Rockvale, we’re staying true to what matters the most: championing local producers, reducing food miles, and serving meals that reflect the best of our region.
