Our History
Mary (Sutherland) made her luxury potted beef for her husband Eddie’s sandwiches in the 1920s, when he was a pioneer salesman for Lyons Tea. Eddie would deliver the potted beef along with the tea.
This was not to Lyons Tea liking, so in 1927 Eddie started a family business delivering Granny Mary’s potted beef all over the north of England.
Granny Mary made the potted beef in a dark cellar lit by candles for over three years in a little house in Tavistock Road, Sheffield.
Due to Eddie & Mary Sutherland’s endeavours and Mary’s secret recipes the business grew and before long a range of potted meats and pastes were being delivered all over Yorkshire & Lancashire.
Sutherlands became a well-known family firm in Yorkshire, noted for quality produce.
The Original Recipe History
Original Recipes Ltd was formed in 2012 by Alistair and William Sutherland. The intention was to re-create traditional Potted Meats made to their Great Grandmother Mary's Recipes under the brand "Granny Mary's". In 2016 Original Recipes ventured into catering, producing high quality pates and terrines for the catering industry under the brand of "Pro Chef."
