Premium Produce for the South East

The South East of England has a thriving hospitality and foodservice sector. From London's Michelin-starred restaurants and vibrant independent scenes to Surrey's golf clubs and country house hotels, from Sussex's coastal restaurants to Kent's emerging food culture, the region demands reliable, fresh, high-quality produce.

Ortaggi serves this entire region from our operation centre at South Croydon, positioned perfectly between London's New Covent Garden Market and the wider South East. We have the geographic advantage to offer market-fresh produce with London quality standards at South East distribution costs.

Our standard next-day delivery covers major South East centres. For locations further afield — in Hampshire, further into Sussex, or deeper into Kent — we can arrange customized delivery schedules based on order volume. Your location doesn't mean compromising on freshness or selection.

Direct Market Access — South East Advantage

Our unique position at New Covent Garden Market gives South East businesses an advantage competitors can't replicate. We don't warehouse produce — we select it fresh each day from the market floor and deliver it to you within 24 hours. This direct approach means:

Fresher Produce

No warehouse storage degradation. Market-picked in the morning, in your kitchen tomorrow. Produce maintains peak ripeness and condition.

Better Quality Control

Our experienced buyers assess every item for quality, ripeness, and condition before it's picked. Substandard produce never leaves the market.

Competitive Pricing

Buying direct from market traders means better prices than wholesalers buying wholesale from wholesalers. Those savings pass to you.

Market Expertise

Our team live at the market every morning. We understand seasonal availability, can recommend alternatives, and help you plan menus around what's best available.

Flexible Delivery for Your Location

Our standard next-day service covers major South East business areas. If you're in a location beyond our routine routes, we can arrange customized delivery. Volume-dependent, but we're willing to work with South East restaurants, hotels, and catering operations at the edges of our normal coverage.

Standard Next-Day Delivery

Order by midnight, receive next day. Covers London, major Surrey towns, Sussex centres, and regular Kent routes.
