About us
Our roots are in farming

From our earliest origins we have been involved with farming. We know more about our key ingredient, potatoes, than probably anyone else and we work hand in hand with British potato farmers to guarantee the quality and quantity we need.

No other foodservice potato supplier has a potato seed business, supplying all of our contracted growers, and ensuring our supply of the very best produce for years to come.

We work with over three hundred selected British Farmers who are registered under the Assured Produce scheme, assuring the safety and integrity of our British potatoes. This is why many of our products also display the Red Tractor logo.
