Ingredients supplier helps Fife restaurant

As local chefs, restaurateurs and pub landlords faced shutdown last week as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wellocks acted quickly to develop a new delivery model overnight and support the hospitality industry.

Wellocks at Home has not only helped Seafood Ristorante to stay open and continue to earn an income, but also supplies the local community with restaurant standard produce.

Consisting of eight unique food boxes, including a Dairy Box, Cupboard and Pantry Box, Fresh Fruit Box and Sunday Lunch Box, members of the public can order online and collect from a restaurant in their local community by noon the following day.

Jill Martin, managing director of Wellocks, said: “The restaurants we supply are part of our family so when it was announced last week that many were to shutdown and lose their incomes, we wanted to support in any way that we could.

“Our boxes not only help shoppers who either can’t get to the local shops or are facing empty shelves, but also our restaurant customers, giving them a way to earn an income during these very uncertain times.”

Ms Martin added: “They take a cut for every box we sell and we’re incredibly proud to not only support them, but also the supply chain and local communities.”

Wellocks is one of the UK’s biggest suppliers for top chefs, delivering fruit, vegetables, dairy, poultry, meat, sundries, store cupboard essentials daily.

For those customers who aren’t near a distribution point, home delivery is now being introduced.
