Penta Foods is committed to assisting you in developing your menu and brands with innovative new ingredients, as well as sourcing bespoke items for your specialist markets.

We have offices in China and Thailand from where we import directly our Asian commodities for the U.K. market, whether for manufacturing purposes or for specialist use in a single restaurant. We also import our South American ingredients on a regular basis from our sources in Peru, Mexico and Argentina to give your menus that authentic but unusual twist.

Built up over the years since its establishment in 1991, Penta Foods is still powered by its original principles of sourcing the right product for the customer and providing outstanding service.  However our phenomenal success over this period means that we are now able to work with our own brands, offering you outstanding quality and value for money.                

At Penta Foods our dedicated purchasing and New Product Development team is constantly searching the international market for new and innovative food products to bring to your menu. Whether you require finished sous vide dishes that are ready to go, or unusual components to enhance your own recipes, Penta can work with you to create the perfect range to maximise your profitability and promote your individuality.
