East Kent Foods

East Kent Foods Our aim is to provide an excellent service allied with competitive prices to catering establishments throughout East Kent.

East Kent Foods is a family run business established in 1992, based in Canterbury and is owned and run by Bill & Tina Plews. Originally based in Eastry we then moved to larger premises in Canterbury and have since purchased our premises in Hersden in December 2010. Our aim is to provide an excellent service allied with competitive prices to catering establishmentsthroughout East Kent. Our client b

ase covers just about the whole of the catering industry from Schools, Nursing Homes to Restaurants & Pubs. Our range of products (well over 1500 lines) is mainly ambient and cleaning but also paper products and some dairy. All our staff are a credit to East Kent Foods and are a big part of our success with many having been with us for many years. We understand the correct balance required of quality, pricing and service for a successful relationship with our customers. Being local enables East Kent Foods to have a personal relationship with our customers, unlike the National Companies.Since 1996 we have been a member of the Sterling Supergroup, a national buying group made of family run businesses like ourselves, with an annual turnover in excess of £500million. This buying power enables us to benefit greatly when negotiating with suppliers allowing us to pass these savings on to our customers. We are also able to offer exclusivity on all Sterling Own Label products in this area, a range that is growing rapidly.

We are very proud to announce that we have helped secure a brilliant donation of £5000.00 from one of our suppliers RH AMAR for our chosen charity, Pilgrims Hospices Canterbury.

They do incredible work and offer such great care for those nearing end of life, diagnosed with terminal illness and support for families. Solely funded by donation and fundraiser events. I have no doubt their hard work and care will have been felt by many of us, through a family member/friend at one time or another over the years. We thank you for your service and please keep up the great work!

We would also like to thank RH Amar for their immense generosity and providing us the opportunity to put this great organisation forward to win the donation. It truly is a great initiative and its a privilege to be dealing with a supplier who are so keen to give back.

The last year in lockdown has been very testing for all businesses and industries, especially the wholesale industry with the hospitality and school sectors having to shut for the vast majority of it. Both sectors make up a large part of any food & drink wholesale business and have been sorely missed. With these closures comes a big loss of custom for our industry and have made times very difficult as we have had to keep the business open in order to service the care sector which I think we’d all agree is extremely important!

Great losses have been made through reduction of custom which in turn leads to loss of stock due to expiry dates, yet to date very little help has been offered to our industry.

We ask you our lovely customers to please spare a minute and sign this petition

Thanks for the continued support, please stay safe!

Food and drink wholesalers are crucial to supplying hospitals, care homes and schools and are a lifeline for vulnerable communities. They are also integral to the post-pandemic economic restart. Despite this, they have been excluded from much Government support and face sector-wide closures.

Yesterday East Kent Foods celebrated 28 years.

28 years ago, in 1992, our Managing Director, Billy Plews and his wife Tina Plews, took the bold move and launched EKF amidst raising a young family. To date, EKF remains a family-run business.

Since then, we can say 2020 has been our most challenging year with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and it’s restrictions, and as a result a lot of our schools, restaurant and bar business has been stagnant. On the other hand we have welcomed so many new customers this year from our Home Deliveries offering at the height of the pandemic, for which we have been truly touched and grateful for, and has meant our business has been able to continue operating despite the pressures faced.

We would like to thank all of our wonderful staff and customers in the past 28 years, old and new, for the continued support.

Here’s to the next 28 years, and to many new customers across the county 🎉
