London wholesale supply, including a broad exotic-produce range
New Spitalfields Market is located in Leyton in east London. It is a physical wholesale market, distinct from the historic Spitalfields destination visited by tourists in central London. The wholesale market moved to Leyton in 1991 and serves professional fresh-produce trading. Restaurants, specialist retailers and distributors benefit from a varied supplier base, including businesses handling exotic produce and ranges suited to different cuisines. A supplier search should therefore use the current wholesale-market address rather than the historic market name alone.
City of London describes a site of more than 31 acres and a hall containing 115 trading units. Units should not be counted as independent companies: one business may occupy several spaces, and wider site statistics may include service providers. This edition did not confirm a free consolidated price bulletin for the whole market. The linked site supplies information and trader contacts from which specific commercial quotations can be requested. Absence of a confirmed public table is not a claim that individual merchants never distribute prices to customers.
A buyer should agree minimum order size and selling unit with the supplier. Visitor information describes wholesale packages, with some sellers handling larger pallet or container quantities. Check the chosen business's hours and the current entry or exit charges rather than planning a visit as if it were a retail shop. Collection requires suitable loading access, a vehicle appropriate for the consignment and temperature control where needed. Confirm stock before dispatching a vehicle, especially when the purchase depends on a particular variety or country of origin.
A seller should decide whether to supply an existing importer or wholesaler or seek its own premises. State origin, variety, packaging, net weight and the available delivery calendar in an offer. For imports, agree which party handles clearance, documentation and freight to the market; acceptance of a commercial proposal does not arrange those tasks automatically. Compare quotations on the same package size and grade. A cheaper carton may contain less weight or produce with a shorter remaining life. For recurring trade, establish how shortages, complaints and substitutions will be reported before a loaded vehicle reaches Leyton. These practical terms often determine whether an attractive headline price produces a workable supply relationship.
