We are a family-run business with over 50 years of experience supplying first-class fruit, vegetables and whole food ingredients to restaurants, schools and catering businesses across London and the South East.
When the pandemic hit and our hospitality customers faced huge challenges, we decided to offer the same quality produce to our local community here in Surrey where we live, work and raise our families. What began as a way to help households access fresh food during uncertain times has grown into Larder by Fresh Connect, a trusted home delivery service.
Our mission is simple. We want to make it easy for families to enjoy restaurant-quality produce at home. We believe in eating seasonally, supporting local growers and helping households cook with real, whole ingredients. Alongside fresh fruit and vegetables, we also work closely with independent businesses including our baker and butcher so that our customers can enjoy high quality bread, meat and dairy as part of their weekly shop.
Today we continue to deliver the same standard of produce trusted by chefs directly to homes across Surrey and the South East. Always fresh, always honest and always delivered free to your door.
Why We Do It
We believe the best food is simple, seasonal, and sourced with care. That’s why we work closely with a trusted network of growers, butchers, bakers and producers. Many of them independent, family-run businesses just like us.
There’s no need for over-processed shortcuts or excessive packaging. Just real food, grown and made properly, delivered to your door.
Where We Work
Our depot at New Covent Garden Market; the UK’s largest wholesale market, receives fresh deliveries seven days a week.
Our second site in Betchworth, Surrey gives us direct access to the farms and growers we work with across the South of England. We collect directly from producers in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, and the New Forest, allowing us to pack and deliver quickly, efficiently, and always with a smile.
From Our Family to Yours
Our refrigerated vans deliver six days a week, with no
subscription and no commitment. Just high-quality, whole food ingredients when
you need them.
We’re proud to support our local community, and we can’t
wait to deliver something fresh to your table.
