Bistro Chef & Orchardlea bring luxury ready meals to the South West

From one family business to another! Elevated home dining brand Bistro Chef, produced by Chef Christophe Lacroix in Bath, is now available to farm shops and fine food retailers across Cornwall, Devon and Somerset through the family run wholesaler Orchardlea (previously Isca).

L to R: Hannah Schofield of Orchardlea and Jackie Phillips of Bistro Chef.

Award Winning Bistro Chef is a growing brand in a growing market. Consumers are eating out less and yet still in search of delicious, guilt free home dining for weekends, occasions or a break from shopping and cooking. Made with just the finest ingredients and nothing else, Bistro Chef offers a wide range of mid-week meals such as Shepherd’s Pie (recently awarded two Great Taste Gold Stars!), Lasagne, Mushroom Risotto and many more, as well as treats including Confit Duck, Beef Bourguignon, Smoked Haddock Linguine, or Langoustine & Lobster Bisque. Simply heat and serve from frozen.

The range has recently had a rebrand and the packaging is stylish and eye-catching, ensuring a colourful display in the freezer.

Orchardlea, run by Hannah and Liam Schofield is based in Exeter and are known for their extensive range of high quality, locally produced foods, delivering to retailers and hospitality venues across Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.

Jackie Phillips, Director at Bistro Chef comments: “We are delighted to be stocked by Orchardlea. They are dedicated to customer service and quality products, so we know we are in good hands. It will enable retailers across the South West to try our brand in their freezers and be well looked after by a local supplier for logistics. We will continue to concentrate on making the very best food!”
