Our other vegetables include Tatsoi, Kai Choi (Chinese mustard), Kai Lan (Chinese Broccoli), Chinese Celery and Tong Ho.
The demand for Oriental food in the UK has grown steadily over the past three decades and Rokewood Ltd has grown with it. Nowadays, it is not just restaurants that seek Oriental produce, both Chinese and British supermarkets also buy from Rokewood Ltd.
Rokewood Ltd's relationship with growers abroad ensures the supply of vegetables all year round. Exotic produce that cannot be grown under UK climate conditions is supplied through these special relationships. Imported produce includes pomelo, lotus root, green radish, water chestnut, winter melon, yam bean, arrowroot, arrowhead (for Chinese New Year) and sweet potatoes (purple flesh) for the Chinese ex-pat community.
As a supplier to both major UK and Chinese supermarkets/outlets, there is a requirement to produce high quality fresh vegetables whilst adhering to the highest standards of cleanliness and care. That is why Rokewood Ltd takes pride in its extensive quality assurance and food safety programmes. As a matter of fact, every step of the way, stringent monitoring and processes exist to ensure that nothing but the finest quality vegetables ever reach the customer.
Rokewood Ltd has always maintained and built long-term relationships with suppliers, staff and customers for mutual benefit.
