As distributors of frozen foods to wholesalers and caterers throughout the UK, Central Foods makes life easier for thousands of foodservice professionals.  As such, we are delighted to announce all our own-brand Menuserve meringue roulades and pavlovas are now gluten-free.

The Menuserve meringue based desserts are hand-made and rolled by artisan pâtissiers, then tested and dispatched on a positive release basis to guarantee their gluten-free integrity.  Each dessert is made with real dairy cream and home-made fillings using only the finest ingredients (Sicilian lemons, Cornish sea salt, Kirsch liqueur) to guarantee a quality flavour and presentation.

* Lemon

* Banoffee

* Black Forest with Kirsch

* Salted Caramel (individual portion only)

Menuserve thaw ‘n’ serve Raspberry Pavlova is packed 1 x 12ptn and is edged with 12 mini meringue shells to help with portioning.
