Hand-picked at New Covent Garden. Delivered before dawn.

Fruit, veg, dairy and provisions for restaurants, hotels and caterers across London and the South East. Family-run since 2007.

19 years at New Covent Garden Market. The produce changes with the season — our standards don't.

Who relies on us

From neighbourhood trattorias to hotel kitchens and members' clubs — a few of the kitchens we deliver to every week.

Delfino
Head Chef

We change the menu with the seasons — they keep up without being asked. That matters more than people think.

Turkey Mill
F&B Manager

We run a lot of events and the volumes can spike at short notice. They've never left us short — and when things are tight, they call ahead.

Q Bar Kitchen & Grill
Kitchen Lead

The drivers know the loading bay, they're on time, and if something's been swapped out they say so to your face. That's not nothing.

The Warren
Chef

I've called them at eleven the night before and had it sorted by morning. Not every supplier will do that.

Our range

Everything from daily staples to specialist Mediterranean lines. If it's not on the list, ask — we'll source it.

Chefs' staples

Onions, potatoes, garlic, lemons, tomatoes, cucumbers — the stuff you get through every single day.

Fresh produce

Heritage tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes, peppers, fresh citrus — chosen for flavour.

Herbs & leaves

Basil, coriander, dill, mint, thyme, rosemary, plus baby leaves, rocket, and spinach.

Mushrooms

Chestnut, portobello, oyster, shiitake, king oyster — wild and seasonal when they're around.

Speciality

Figs, artichokes, seasonal citrus, and the less-common lines that don't always show up elsewhere.

Citrus & stone fruit

Lemons, limes, oranges, blood oranges in season; peaches, nectarines, and apricots when they're good.

Dairy

Milk, butter, cream, mozzarella, feta, ricotta, burrata, yoghurt, and alternatives.

Dry & provisions

Oils, vinegars, tinned toms, pulses, pasta, rice, olives, capers, and the rest of your ambient shelf.

Frozen

Chips, veg, pastry, gelato, breads — there when fresh isn't the right call.

Who we are

We started in 2007 with one van and a handful of good suppliers. The idea was simple: be at the market every morning, choose the best of what's there, and get it to kitchens before service. 19 years on, the alarm still goes off.

Giuseppe knows the growers, reads the seasons, and looks after your prices. Jaime runs the warehouse and won't load anything he wouldn't eat himself.

Who you work with

  • Chilled from the stand to your kitchen door. No ambient stop.
  • You deal with us directly — two founders, same team since day one.
  • Giuseppe sources. Jaime packs. Both check. Nothing leaves without a pair of eyes on it.
  • Order by midnight, delivered before service. Problem? We call you.
