Simon Wood
Executive Chef & Owner

"Since I opened my first establishment in 2017, Stephenson's have been a reliable and supportive supplier that have helped us thrive. We've built a personal relationship with our area manager and this has facilitated important aspects of operating - such as sourcing products and last minute deliveries.

The relationship has been so efficient that we worked with Stephenson's for our opening of Woodkraft in Cheltenham, as well as our 2019 collaboration with Hotel Indigo in Chester."

Richard Greensmith
Operations Manager

"Over these past 4 years, Stephenson's have been a valuable, reliable and supportive partner in sourcing and supplying suitable equipment for all of the University outlets, including the 900 capacity Devonshire Dome area.

I would definitely recommend working with Stephenson's for their ability to support and supply any catering activity you may need to engage in."

Anson Bolton
Food Development Manager

"We've used Stephenson's for a number of years. Their service is very professional throughout; from the drivers through to the customer service team, nothing is too much trouble. Our Account Manager is always on hand and has been a fantastic support during several new openings over the past few years.

I also find Stephenson's to be at the forefront of innovation which assists us as we continue to develop our brands."
