Smith & Brock Highly Commended in the Fruit & Veg Supplier Category at the Members' Choice Awards 2026

Smith & Brock has been recognised as Highly Commended in the Fruit & Veg Supplier category at the Members' Choice Awards 2026, an accolade voted for by hospitality professionals across the UK.

The recognition celebrates the suppliers that consistently deliver exceptional products, outstanding service and trusted support to professional kitchens. Being highly commended reflects Smith & Brock's commitment to supplying premium fresh produce while building long-term partnerships with chefs through quality, reliability and personal service.

A Trusted Partner to London's Leading Restaurants

Smith & Brock is one of London's largest independent fresh produce and fine foods wholesalers, supplying fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy, dry goods, frozen products and fine foods to some of the capital's most respected restaurants.

Its customers include Waterside Inn, Restaurant Story, Core by Clare Smyth, Muse by Tom Aikens and The Wolseley Group. As Alain Roux of Waterside Inn describes, Smith & Brock is "more than a supplier" – a true partner that combines personal service, passion, professionalism and commitment.

Founded by Joe and Nick after years of working within the industry, the business was built on a simple philosophy: bringing together the best people, the best products and the best service at the right price for customers who value quality.

Sourcing Exceptional Produce

Smith & Brock works with trusted growers across the UK and Europe to source the very best seasonal produce. From the Marché International de Rungis and the Italian coast to the mountains of Spain and the Kent countryside, the company partners with suppliers who share its commitment to quality.

This dedication is reflected in the feedback received from customers. John Kouphou, Executive Chef at St. Ermin's Hotel, describes Smith & Brock as "a supplier I trust and value", praising both the consistently excellent quality of the produce and the reliability of the service.

Supporting Professional Kitchens

Alongside its extensive produce offering, Smith & Brock provides a dedicated fresh prep and juice range, together with Bespoke by Smith & Brock, a production solution designed to help professional kitchens improve consistency, efficiency and quality.

Led by chef and co-founder Marcus Eaves, the Bespoke team works closely with chefs to create products tailored to their exact requirements. From fresh egg pasta, stocks and sauces to prepared vegetables, grains, pulses and slow-cooked meats, the service acts as a seamless extension of the kitchen while also supporting menu development and product consultation.

Built on Trust and Consistency

Smith & Brock remains committed to supporting professional kitchens with exceptional produce, dependable service and bespoke solutions that make a genuine difference to chefs. By combining product expertise with a customer-first approach, the business continues to build lasting partnerships based on trust, quality and consistency.
