What chefs say about us
We come recommended …
We have been supplying top-quality sustainable seafood to some of the finest restaurants, hotels, and schools and colleges in central and southern England for over 35 years. The seafood we offer you, as a customer of New Wave (in person at our fish markets or via our online shop) is precisely the same as we supply to professional chefs, so you can rest assured you are getting the very best-quality product. This is what just some of the chefs say about us.
See what Matt Beamish, owner of the award-winning Kingham Plough, and chef Ashleigh Farrand (featured in BBC’s Great British Menu) say about New Wave’s fresh fish and shellfish.
New Wave has been my go-to supplier for over 25 years, and their commitment to freshness, reliability, and service is unmatched. I highly recommend them to any chef who values quality and consistency.
