Friars Pride offers a wide variety of quality products for caterers, bakers and fish and chip shops from our local depots. By fostering and maintaining direct supply relationships with six fish suppliers, we are able to offer significant Frozen At Sea Fillet supplies (FAS). For Fats & Oils supplies, with our heritage in fats & oils manufacturing, we have a strong portfolio of dripping supplies, liquid vegetable oil supplies and palm oil supplies. With frozen storage capacity at each of our locations, we are able to offer customers’ frozen food supplies, including sausages, chicken products, pies, scampi, beefburgers, kebabs and more.

With our ambient warehousing we are able to offer a wide range of take away packaging supplies (including Hook & Fish packaging), major flour brands, batter flours brands, curry and gravy supplies, drink supplies, dried and canned goods supplies, cleaning supplies and much, much more. On top of this we offer additional services, such as waste oil collection.

Innovation and bringing new initiatives to market is a key strength of Friars Pride. This means we are able to offer a wide variety of quality and unique own branded products, all of which are exclusively available from Friars Pride and The Q Partnership.

The Q Partnership (Friars Pride, Henry Colbeck and VA Whitley) are proud to be part of Chester Zoo's Sustainable Palm Oil Project as Sustainable Palm Oil Ambassadors. This role allows us to continue our advocacy for sustainable palm oil through customer and sector engagement, helping to protect wildlife around the world from the impact of unsustainable agricultural practices.

All of the palm oil we sell at Friars Pride is RSPO certified from fully segregated sources. This ensures that all our palm oil is traceable back to the mill and plantations and is deforestation-free.
