DBC Foodservice wins Barracuda pub contract

31st March 2010, 9:27am

DBC Foodservice has won a contract to supply a multi-temperature range of food to Barracuda Group's nationwide pub and bar estate.

This follows a three-month tendering process which involved eight different foodservice suppliers.

The Barracuda Group operates 223 quality pubs and bars under five trading formats: Smith & Jones, Varsity, Barracuda Bar, Juniper and Cape.

DBC will now be supplying Barracuda's estate with dry, frozen and chilled products as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.      

Chris Horne, managing director of DBC Foodservice, said: "We are delighted to have won this major account following such a rigorous tendering process and are pleased that we could offer the flexible approach that Barracuda was looking for. The contract will be mobilised through our Petersfield and Rotherham branches, with our other national branches enhancing the delivery process where appropriate.

Kate Eastwood, head of food at the Barracuda Group, added: "This new partnership approach complements the natural synergies between Barracuda and DBC and we believe this decision will continue to further strengthen our strategy for driving our food performance forward. We are very much looking forward to working with DBC over the coming months and years."

DBC sells to all sectors of the catering industry such as independent restaurants, hotels, private schools, local authorities, healthcare, the MoD worldwide food supply and high street restaurant chains. The company serves caterers with over 8,000 multi-temperature products, turning over in excess of £270m.
