Devon Food Suppliers – Local Wholesale Food Supply Since 2003
Xlent Foods is a Devon food supplier serving businesses across the county since 2003. Based in Plymouth at the heart of Devon, we've built our reputation on providing quality frozen, chilled, and ambient products with the reliable, personal service that only a genuinely local Devon supplier can offer.
From Exeter and Torbay to Barnstaple and Tiverton, from the South Devon coast to Dartmoor's villages, we understand Devon's diverse food service landscape. Whether you're running a seafront café in Exmouth, a country pub on Dartmoor, a city-centre restaurant in Exeter, or a hotel in Torquay, you'll benefit from working with Devon food suppliers who are rooted in the same county, understand Devon's seasonal rhythms, and respond with the flexibility that Devon businesses need.

Devon Food Businesses We Support
Real examples of Devon food businesses (anonymised) benefiting from working with local Devon food suppliers:
Torbay Seafront Café
Challenge: High summer demand for ice cream, frozen desserts, and grab-and-go items; near-zero demand in winter.
Solution: Seasonal pricing adjusted to actual volumes. Flexible weekly ordering April–September, fortnightly October–March. Reduced frozen storage costs by ~12% while improving summer range.
Mid Devon Village Pub
Challenge: Previously using 3 different suppliers (frozen, chilled, ambient), all charging delivery fees. Rural location meant inconsistent delivery times.
Solution: Consolidated to single supplier (Xlent Foods). Reduced deliveries from 3× weekly to 2× weekly. Saved ~£95/week on delivery charges alone, plus better stock control.
Dartmoor Country Hotel
Challenge: Needed premium breakfast ingredients (bacon, sausages, eggs) plus restaurant-quality evening menu items. Previous supplier had limited chilled range.
Solution: Tailored pricing on premium lines. Sourced specific Devon-sourced bacon and sausages not on standard list. Improved guest feedback on breakfast quality.
Exeter Business District Café
Challenge: Weekday lunchtime trade focused on sandwiches, salads, hot drinks. Needed reliable chilled deliveries by 7am for prep.
Solution: Guaranteed early-window delivery 2× weekly. Added ambient lines (coffee, milk, sandwich fillings). Reduced weekly basket cost by ~8% vs previous cash-and-carry model.
