... Real Customer Experiences

It's easy for us to tell you how great our service is, and what a truly unique range of products we stock. But for you to get a real insight into the way we do business, we thought it would be best for us to get some of our customers to tell you about their real experiences of working with Vegetarian Express. Here are just a few....

 

"..Vegetarian Express have fantastic products, both in quality and their "new" ranges are always innovative, standing out from all other suppliers. They are always willing to go the extra mile, doing whatever they can to source ingredients or supply information. Their product knowledge is second to none and they are always willing to demonstrate to our chefs how to cook using some of their newer product range. Delivery is always prompt and accurate. Overall a consistently great service and supplier who I would recommend to anyone looking for vegetarian products, or any products for that matter!..."

"Prior to joining Graysons, I had not used Vegetarian Express as a supplier however, in the past four years the quality of product and service have been excellent.

"When I choose a supplier, I want someone to talk to. I want a relationship in addition to good customer service and that is what Vegetarian Express has given to me - from the person who takes my phone order to the positive attitude and support of the business managers.

The products we use from VE are of a high quality and ensure we have a wide variety of ‘niche’ ingredients to support our student feeding. This is especially important to us as we have such a diverse ethnic custom base to feed on a day to day basis.

Support is also given by VE in the way of menu ideas and recipes which their development chef’s are always keen to be involved.

I definitely recommend VE and their products to support your menu development whatever your customer.

Great Service!! Great Products!! Great People!!"
