JJ Foodservice: The Secret Ingredient to University Catering Success
Updated: 23 August, 2024

At JJ Foodservice, our mission is simple: to make it easy for everyone to enjoy chef-quality ingredients. That’s why many university caterers have already partnered with us, benefiting from our consistent quality and reliable service.

Founded over 35 years ago by a former restauranteur, JJ Foodservice has grown to understand the unique needs of busy caterers. This dedication has earned us the title of National Wholesaler of the Year at this years’ Grocer Gold awards!

JJ Foodservice’s Stamp of Approval from Leeds and Warwick Uni

Ian, Leeds Students Union

“Since we agreed our contract with JJ Foodservice, it’s been a very smooth process. The range of products JJ offers covers every aspect of catering supplies we need. Deliveries are always punctual, and our orders are well packaged making it easy for our catering teams to unload. We order through the JJ Foodservice website, and it's very easy to use.

"Our partnership with JJ has enabled us to increase our product range almost weekly, providing Leeds Students Union with a wider variety of choice on their menus.”

Lee Solloway, Warwick Students Union

“Balancing quality with the right price, while offering value can be tough; especially when you’re building menus for SU’s. But, when Mark from JJ came along, it was refreshing to talk food with someone who truly understood our needs.

"It’s so easy to place online orders… we’ve saved more than 25% in costs per perm… Mark has been fantastic…"

"He didn’t offer a sales push, but instead reviewed our stock reports, menus and portion costings, to do some hefty comparisons to offer us the best possible products at the best price available.

"Switching key lines including beef burgers, fresh chicken, brioche buns, vegan buns, skin on fries, oil drums, pizza sauce and chicken strips, has saved us around 25% per term without compromising on product quality. I’m extremely happy with JJ Foodservice - give them a challenge and see what they can do for you.”

Kristie Staley, Preston Students Union

“From the delivery drivers, to getting in touch with our rep, Mark, everyone at JJ is there when you need them with no complications. We order online using the website and app – it's so quick and easy to place orders and amend them on the rare occasion we need to.

"The requested delivery times and email reminders make my job easier as I will always know when my order is due and helps me to plan ahead, even if they are delayed!

"After using JJ Foodservice for a year now, I can gladly say that we would recommend them to anyone. Mark, has been fantastic; helping us find the best products for our menu, and making sure we get the best value for money on our products.”
