Friars Pride is an independent, family-owned company that was established over 50 years ago in 1975. The company has a proud heritage stretching back to 1898 with the manufacturing and refining of fats and oils.

Today, Friars Pride has grown to be one of the largest suppliers of fish and chip shops and fast food outlets in the United Kingdom and continues to be a specialist in supplying a large range of products, including fish, fats and oils, frozen food, and ambient foods. Our large fleet of bespoke vehicles can deliver both ambient and frozen foods while collecting your used cooking oil, allowing us to offer you a complete service. Our coverage includes South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, the Midlands, London, Norfolk, Suffolk, the South, East and West of England, Cornwall, Devon, and South Wales. 

Our ambition is to offer unrivaled customer service… Our motto is putting the ‘pride’ into food service. That's what makes us Friars Pride.
We aim to provide everything your fish and chip shop, restaurant, fast food business, or takeaway will need – from fish and sausages to packaging and mushy peas! We also offer a wide variety of products for a range of catering businesses, including bakers, cafes, takeaways, restaurants, and pubs.
We aim to maintain strong relationships with our suppliers to bring you the staple products of the industry, and also new and innovative products. We have a direct relationship with fish suppliers, so we can supply you with a large variety of frozen-at-sea (FAS) fish fillets. With a strong heritage in the fats and oils sector, we maintain long-standing partnerships with leading suppliers of beef dripping, liquid vegetable oils, and palm oil. From our large frozen storage capacity at all our depots, we can offer you and your business quality frozen food supplies, including sausages, chicken products, pies, scampi, beefburgers, kebabs, vegetarian and vegan products, and more. With our ambient warehousing, we can offer you a wide range of packaging supplies, from biodegradable trays to the Hook & Fish Fold It Bin It corrugated boxes. From our local depots, we can also supply you with major flour brands, batter mix brands, curry and gravy supplies, drink supplies, dried and canned goods supplies, cleaning supplies, frying equipment, and much more. 
 
Here at Friars Pride, we are more than just a wholesaler, which is why we offer services such as used cooking oil (UCO) collection and bespoke packaging services. We continue to innovate and bring you new and exciting brands that can help you expand and grow your business by offering something new or unique, plus we provide you with a range of marketing support - this includes the FRY I.T. innovation exhibition, the Good Habits magazine, and offering a range of free point of sale.
