Order after service,
stocked before covers
Chef-spec produce for restaurants and caterers — order by midnight, in your walk-in by 9 AM
Restaurants & caterers
A supplier that works your hours
Kitchens finish late; markets trade at night. Vala Fresh sits in between. Close the pass, send tomorrow's list on WhatsApp before midnight, and our traders pick it on the market floor in Tottenham while you sleep — graded to chef spec, driven overnight on our own refrigerated fleet, and delivered UK-wide by 9 AM from a £300 minimum order.
Chef-spec grading
Graded for the pass
What arrives is what you'd have picked yourself
Every line is quality-checked at goods-in and graded to chef spec — sizing, ripeness and condition matched to how you'll actually use it, whether that's tomatoes for the grill or herbs for garnish.
Across 170+ lines of vegetables, fruit, berries, salads, herbs and exotics, the standard is the same: if it wouldn't pass your goods-in, it doesn't pass ours. And with per-customer pricing agreed with a trader who knows your menu, you're never paying a list price built for someone else's kitchen.

Midnight cut-off
Order when the kitchen closes
Send the list after service, not before it
Most suppliers want tomorrow's order before tonight's service has even started. Ours arrives when you know what you've actually used — send it after close-down, any way you like: text, voice note or a photo of the prep board.
The sales desk answers on WhatsApp 24/7, in any language, with a human trader one word away. Order by midnight and the walk-in is stocked before your first covers sit down — no gap between what service took and what prep needs.

Source to order
Menus change. So do we.
Off-list ingredients and event-scale volumes
New menu, one-off dish, an ingredient nobody local stocks? Tell us what you need and our buyers work UK and European grower and importer networks overnight to source it to order — often on the very next delivery.
For caterers, the same flexibility applies to volume. Scale a standing order up for a wedding weekend or a run of corporate events and back down after, without renegotiating anything. One order, one delivery, one invoice — with iwoca trade credit available when cash flow needs room to breathe.

Chef-spec at goods-in
Every line graded and quality-checked before it's picked for you — sizing, ripeness and condition to your spec, not a generic pallet standard.

Order after service ends, by midnight. Delivered UK-wide by 9 AM on our own refrigerated fleet — the prep walk-in is stocked before first covers.
Source to order
Unusual ingredients sourced overnight through UK and European grower networks. If it's in season somewhere, our traders can usually find it.
Terms that fit hospitality
Per-customer pricing agreed with your trader, a £300 minimum order, and iwoca trade credit for the weeks when events land before invoices clear.
