Founded in 1922, S. Thorogood and Sons is proud to be a family business built on generations of farming and market experience. Our philosophy is simple and has always remained the same: grown by farmers, sold by farmers.

Long before S. Thorogood and Sons officially began trading, the Thorogood family were growing and selling produce. That heritage gives us a unique understanding of the journey from field to market. We know the land, we understand the seasons, and we appreciate the care required to produce exceptional fresh produce. This knowledge continues to shape everything we do today.

As a family business spanning more than a century, Thorogood’s has earned a reputation for quality, consistency and trust. Our experience allows us to understand our customers and respond to the ever changing demands of the fresh produce industry while remaining true to our roots. The values that guided us in 1922 continue to guide us now: hard work, integrity and a commitment to excellence.

We work closely with a trusted network of British growers who share our dedication to quality and responsible farming. Many of these relationships have been built over decades. Because we come from a farming background ourselves, we value long-term partnerships and mutual respect. This close collaboration ensures that the produce we supply meets the highest standards of freshness, flavour and reliability.

Throughout the year, Thorogood’s supplies more than 100 varieties of vegetables. From everyday staples such as carrots, onions and cabbage to seasonal highlights including asparagus and strawberries, our range reflects the strength and diversity of British agriculture. We are passionate about seasonality and take pride in offering produce at its very best.

S. Thorogood and Sons trades across London’s principal wholesale markets:

• New Covent Garden Market
• New Spitalfields Market
• Western International Market

Our presence across all three markets places Thorogood’s at the heart of London’s fresh produce trade. These historic markets connect growers with chefs, retailers, caterers and wholesalers who rely on dependable supply every day. Being active within each location allows us to remain close to both our growers and our customers, maintaining the personal service that defines S. Thorogood and Sons.

In recent years, Thorogood’s has expanded its services to include direct deliveries to retailers, wholesalers and caterers nationwide. This allows us to extend the reach of London’s markets while maintaining the same care and attention that our customers expect. Whether trading on the market floor or delivering directly, our focus remains the same: exceptional produce and dependable service.

S. Thorogood and Sons is committed to sustainable and responsible farming practices, rooted in generations of agricultural experience. We recognise the importance of protecting and improving the land through regenerative methods, careful soil management and long term stewardship. We work closely with growers who share these values, ensuring sustainability is embedded in how we farm and how we source. Alongside this, we uphold clear standards for responsible and ethical trading across our supply chain, promoting fairness, accountability and integrity at every stage.

After more than 100 years in business, S. Thorogood and Sons continues to honour its agricultural heritage while looking ahead with confidence. From British fields to London’s markets, Thorogood’s remains dedicated to supplying the very best fresh produce, season after season, with the knowledge, care and pride that only a family business can provide.
