How Frank Dale Foodservice supplies to wholesalers

Jun, 2025

We’ve got a whole heap of history when it comes to supplying to wholesalers.

From the early days when Frank Dale was born in 1994 and following increased interest from food service operators, large quiches were the first products supplied to the wholesale sector.

Fast forward to more recent times and we’re now supplying a wide range of buffet, occasion and party food to the wholesale sector so that they can offer a great choice to their food service customers.

In turn, this means that caterers can serve Frank Dale Foodservice products with the minimum amount of effort.

Our Link with Central Foods

Since 2020, Frank Dale Foodservice has had a successful partnership with frozen food distributor Central Foods to supply into the wholesale sector.

As one of the UK’s leading frozen food distributors to the foodservice industry, Central Foods offers a ‘one-stop shop’ that includes a wide range of products.

Our products beautifully complement the company’s range – and it means that it’s easy and convenient for wholesalers to stock our great-tasting options.

Our partnership brings a number of benefits to wholesalers because Central Foods has:

The scale and infrastructure to offer fast deliveries
The ability to offer small minimum quantities

All this means that wholesalers can order smaller quantities of products, in a mixed pallet, at regular intervals – rather than investing large sums of money in a big order once every few months. It’s an excellent way to de-risk!

Partnership Working

The partnership between Frank Dale Foodservice and Central Foods helps wholesalers to have a regular supply of buffet, party and occasion food to suit events all year round. From weddings to wakes, graduations, corporate events, life celebrations, business lunches and more, the Frank Dale Foodservice range has products to suit.

We’re specialists in quiches and mini sweet and savoury canapés. To make things simple, food service operators just need to ‘thaw and serve’ or ‘heat and eat’ our products.

If you’re a wholesaler looking to expand the range on offer to your caterer customers, take a look at what we produce at our BRCGS AA-rated manufacturing unit in Norfolk.

Along with quiches, the Frank Dale Foodservice brand includes mini cakes, mini chocolate cups, and mini scones, plus mini Yorkshire puddings, mini smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels, mini topped naan, mini crostinis, mini pies and more.
