Restaurant Food Supplier
Wholesale produce, dairy and provisions built around restaurant service schedules, with midnight ordering and next-day delivery for London and South East kitchens.
Get StartedRestaurant-focused proof
Service-led ordering
Midnight cutoff supports post-service stock checks and next-day menu execution.
Chef-ready flexibility
Quantities and lines can adapt quickly to specials, seasonality and cover swings.
Single-team coordination
Produce and dairy needs are coordinated through one supplier relationship.
Built for Restaurant Needs
Restaurant operations have unique supply challenges. Kitchens need diverse product range, reliable next-day delivery, flexible ordering without minimum thresholds, strong relationships with suppliers who understand cooking and menus, and pricing that works for high-volume purchasing.
We've served London restaurants since 2007. We understand your challenges — the morning rush to order supplies, the pressure to maintain consistent food quality, the balance between fresh seasonal sourcing and reliable staple ingredients, the need for specialty items on short notice.
Ortaggi was built for restaurants. Our next-day delivery, market-direct sourcing, competitive wholesale pricing, and willingness to work with you on menu development and ingredient sourcing all reflect restaurant realities.
What Makes Restaurant Suppliers Different
Restaurant supply is different from general wholesale. Standard wholesale operations optimize for efficiency, large standardized orders, and predictable demand. Restaurant supply requires flexibility, speed, and supplier-chef collaboration.
Flexible Ordering
No minimum order requirements. Order 3 heads of burrata for a special appetizer, not 10. Order by midnight, receive next day, adjust quantities based on daily need.
Menu Flexibility
We understand seasonal menu changes. When you want to feature asparagus in spring or truffles in autumn, we source it. Seasonal sourcing is encouraged, not a problem.
Chef Relationships
Our team speaks restaurant language. We understand mise en place, seasonal plate changes, inventory planning, and menu development. We can advise, not just supply.
Reliability Under Pressure
Restaurant kitchens run on tight schedules. You need produce tomorrow morning ready for prep and service. We deliver. Consistently.
What We Supply to Restaurants
Our service combines fresh produce and quality dairy — the two core categories restaurants order regularly. Combined ordering simplifies your workflow and creates a single relationship with a supplier who understands both categories deeply.

Daily Ordering Workflow
Our ordering system is designed around restaurant reality. End-of-service prep, daily inventory assessments, and overnight ordering for next-morning delivery.
Evening Assessment
After service, you assess what you've used, what you need, what you're running low on. You check the menus planned for next day and note any specialty items needed.
Call or Email Before Midnight
Phone 0333 091 5281 or email office@ortaggi.co.uk with your order. Tell us quantities, any specific requirements, and we confirm availability the same evening.
Market Selection
Next morning, our buyers are at New Covent Garden Market selecting your produce. They're checking ripeness, condition, quality — ensuring only the best items get into your order.
Next-Morning Delivery
Your order arrives the next morning, usually by 10am, cold and ready for kitchen prep. Peak ripeness, ready for your prep schedule.

Menu Development Support
We don't just supply ingredients — we support menu development. Our team's daily presence at New Covent Garden Market gives insight into seasonal availability, emerging products, and what chefs are sourcing. We can advise on menu planning, suggest seasonal alternatives, and help you balance signature dishes with seasonal flexibility.
Seasonal Menu Planning
Understand what's coming into season and plan menus accordingly. Spring asparagus, summer tomatoes, autumn mushrooms, winter citrus — we help you plan around what's best available.
Specialty Ingredient Sourcing
Planning a dish around burrata? A truffle risotto? Fresh morels for a sauce? We source specialty items and can advise on availability and timing.
Alternative Recommendations
When your planned item isn't available or is expensive, we recommend alternatives. What's better today? What would work in your dish?
Cost Management
Our market knowledge helps you manage food costs through the year. Buy expensive items when they're abundant, source alternatives when they're scarce.
Competitive Wholesale Pricing
Our direct market access means competitive pricing. We buy direct from market traders, not through middlemen. Those savings pass to you. We don't have minimum order requirements, so you're not forced to over-order to hit thresholds.
Direct Market Pricing
We buy direct from market suppliers. No warehouse middleman markup. Better pricing than wholesalers buying from wholesalers.
No Minimum Orders
Order what you need, not what hits a minimum threshold. Small order of an expensive item? No problem. Order flexibility.
Volume Discounts
Regular high-volume orders get pricing consideration. Multi-kitchen operations can get competitive rates.
Consistent Pricing
While some items vary seasonally, pricing is consistent and transparent. No surprise surcharges or hidden fees.
