A generous 150g portion of the Naturalaz lamb with no trim, wastage or shrinkage, will land on a plate for around $3.50*. At 30% food costs, that’s about $11.50 to the customer (without sides). Being pre-cooked, there is also minimal labour costs.
There is perhaps no dish more iconically Australian than the ‘roast’. You only have to mention the words and most Aussies will conjure up memories so real they can be smelt and tasted. Sweet caramelising pumpkin. Earthy roasting potatoes. Homely scented beef, lamb or pork, steaming from the oven. Mint sauce. Apple sauce. Gravy.
But it’s not just recollections of flavours that make these memories so visceral. It’s the occasions from which they arise. It’s the whole family coming for lunch. It’s dinners with old relatives. It’s meals with the television turned off. It’s Dad’s special recipe for gravy.
A roast is as much an occasion as it is a dish.
The precious memories people hold also extend beyond the home. Whether it’s after a day of footy, hitching the caravan up the highway – or simply because it’s Sunday, people have mopped gravy-lapped plates clean with buttered bread at country pubs, drive-in motels and trendy inner-city joints since day dot.
This familiarity means consumer expectations of such a humble dish are high. A roast is one of those dishes that even the worst home cook can have a crack at. And everyone knows someone who cooks ‘the best’. So, when an establishment charging money falls short of Nanna’s standards, it’s a long way down.
By the same token, when an establishment puts out a perfectly cooked roast with all the trimmings, tender memories of family and flavour will come rushing back. And so will they!

This is where the Naturalaz pre-cooked sous vide carvery range can help.
Success comes not from nailing a dish once, but consistently delivering the same quality, every time.
When someone enjoys a meal at your establishment, they want it to be as good the next time they visit. They also want assurance it will be the same if they recommend your venue to friends or family. By consistently delivering quality, your customers will trust you enough to spread the word.
The Naturalaz Carvery Range includes beef (130079), pork (130081) and lamb (130080), cooked sous vide with precise temperature control, guaranteeing tender, moist and succulent meat. Perfect for plated roasts, carveries and buffets, your kitchen staff can effortlessly complete these cuts by heating, browning and garnishing, resulting in consistently delicious roasts every time – including the crackling!
Beyond consistency, quality and value for money also matter. All Naturalaz products are made from meticulously trimmed cuts of premium Australian meats. The sous vide method ensures tenderness and flavour, with 100 per cent of the juices maintained during cooking, which when added to a gravy or jus roti, adds a slow-cooked depth of flavour.
It’s pointless to serve a dish that doesn’t make margins, and since roasts are such a staple of home cooking, people don’t have as much leeway in their preparedness to pay a premium price; it’s often for this reason that F&B managers and chefs fear the roast. This doesn’t need to be the case. A generous 150g portion of the Naturalaz lamb with no trim, wastage or shrinkage, will land on a plate for around $3.50*. At 30% food costs, that’s about $11.50 to the customer (without sides). Being pre-cooked, there is also minimal labour costs.
If you already serve a roast or carvery at your establishment – or you’re considering doing so – the Naturalaz carvery range guarantees a perfectly cooked, tender roast every time. With no wastage, zero trim, low labour cost and a greatly reduced margin of error, you can confidently serve a roast, knowing it will be as good as Nanna’s.
