Wholesale
Are you looking to stock your shop or event with our delicious fruit and vegetables? We sell all our produce at wholesale so you can retail at a competitive price.
Call Paul for the best wholesale price on 07966 246 388.
We supply the strawberries in 454gm punnets in returnable outer trays. This is enough for three people, you’ll be reasonably generous at that, depending upon what else is on offer.
We would suggest a greater emphasis on raspberries for your private parties and events (when they are in season). They are a bit more expensive but have little or no preparation and can be poured straight from the punnet into bowls. You can collect on the day of your event as it is important to have fruit as fresh as possible and it will be better kept chilled in our cold store than a domestic fridge
