More than just a foodservice wholesaler

Thomas Ridley is a family-owned business with decades of experience in foodservice and we pride ourselves not just in supplying you with the products you need, but in operating today in a way that helps to protect tomorrow. We go the extra mile to help you to recycle your waste cooking oil, cardboard and plastic, to divert as much waste from landfill as possible, and our multi-temperature delivery fleet helps to cut down on multiple deliveries and wasted road miles. Being an independent company means we can be flexible to your needs, personal in our approach and react promptly to changes in the market.

From schools to care homes, football clubs to pubs, farm shops to fine-dining - we’re delivering food for life and helping you to get everything you need in fast and friendly deliveries, all at a fair and competitive price. 

Professionals you can trust

Our teams are always staying on top of the latest food trends and innovations to make sure that our range is up-to-date, our supply chains are strong and our accreditations are current, so that you can order with confidence.
