Our Service
Source, Supply & Serve.
Foodari ensures that all of its customers benefit from the wide range of superb produce we provide. We are devoted to sourcing fresh ingredients with uncompromising standards of quality, value and integrity.
We supply the market with produce that really is fresher by miles.
We create strong, longstanding relationships with suppliers who share our passion, but equally, we have close relationships with our chefs, catering managers, directors and buyers.
Source
We are proud to have a strong network of growers and producers locally, nationally and internationally. We strongly support local produce from Kent, and at certain times of the year, supply up to 80% of all our fruit and vegetables from the Garden of England, and up to 90% from the rest of the UK. Please visit our 'Growers' page for more details on our lovely local suppliers.
Supply
Our range of customers includes hotels and restaurants, including some of London's finest, to contract caterers, care homes, hospitals, universities and schools.
Our produce is stored securely and compliantly in our chilled warehouses on the farm, where our team of produce experts are on hand 24-hours a day, six days a week, picking you the freshest and best produce possible. What's more, we always try our utmost to fulfil special requests where possible.
Service
We deliver six days a week across the south of England. Our fleet of vans are tracked and chilled to ensure produce arrives on time and in the very best condition. We manage all aspects of our logistics so you will build up a personal relationship with our drivers, and customer service teams. They will know what time to get to you and where you want your order to arrive.
Our customer service also extends to offering advice on trending products, seasonal best, and availability. We champion the whole supply chain, and love working in close partnership with chefs, catering teams, growers and buyers.
We manage e-orders using most of the main buying systems. And if you simply want to drop us an email or a whatsapp to tell us what you need – that’s fine too. But we are also available at the end of the phone from 8am to midnight six days a week, happy to discuss your needs, seasonality, pricing and availability.
"We want you to be as passionate and as excited about our produce as we are"
Jonathan Parker, Managing Director
At Foodari, we think it's important to know where all of our produce is sourced, which is why we are committed to transparency across all aspects of the business. We deliver on our promise of provenance as well as showcasing the stories of our dedicated growers, many of which are located in Kent, The Garden of England.
Foodari's long-established supplier relationships are key to our success. We champion seasonal food where possible, so that our customers can benefit from fresh, quality tasting produce. Sourcing from local growers also helps in reducing food miles, thus helping to minimise our environmental impact.

Chambers
Raspberries, blueberries and blackberries
Fruit farming runs through the veins of the Chambers family, who have successfully grown fruit in Kent for a number of generations. Kent’s mixture of chalk, sand and clay soils, together with a drier climate than the rest of the UK, combine to offer the optimum horticulture conditions - hence the ‘Garden of England’ reference which Kent has enjoyed for over 400 years. Chambers is the largest independent cane fruit grower in the UK, supplying quality fruit directly from the farm to many of the country’s major multiples. As specialists in their field, they identify core varieties capable of delivering the maximum quality yield over the longest possible season.
