A NEW business has opened in Tameside, bringing more choice to local shoppers and workers looking for quick, affordable meals.
Located in Ashton-under-Lyne’s Arcades Shopping Centre, Sterling Foods to Go is the latest food-to-go outlet to launch in the area. The new venue offers high street convenience with value-focused pricing, aimed at serving both residents and people working in the town centre.
The business is led by seasoned meat entrepreneur Tom Cribbins, whose Sterling Meat Company has long served the Northwest under its Meat Mart brand.
The firm later expanded into the ready‑to‑eat market through the “Sterling Foods to Go” concept, boosted by Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF) backing.
What’s on the Menu?
Customers can expect a rotating mix of hot and cold grab‑and‑go dishes including curries, jacket potatoes, whole roast chickens, sandwiches and other ready‑to‑eat specials.
The aim is to balance wholesome quality with budget‑friendly pricing.
The launch has attracted attention across social media, with locals praising both the convenience and price point. Some have welcomed the alternative to supermarket grab‑and‑go options and more expensive eateries.
