I'm very proud of the business the team and I have built over 30 years. We all care about what we do and want the best for our customers. With us, you get a guarantee of consistent quality and service with a very personal touch. 
The King Escalope
The King Escalope was founded in 1996 by Martyn Walker, after taking over a close friend’s business supplying cooked foods to independent sandwich bars. The business quickly grew, and with the arrival of Head Chef Bridge in 2000, expanded to supply a wide range of outlets, including pubs, bars and retailers.
While chicken escalopes remain at the heart of the business, we now offer a varied range of cooked ready meals. In 2016, The King Escalope acquired its main competitor and moved into a purpose-built commercial kitchen. Today, we employ over 20 staff, most of whom have been with us for over five years.
Salsa Accreditation
The Salsa accreditation which was awarded soon afterwards meant that we could expand the growing number of wholesale food distributors and food outlet groups that we have supplied over the past twenty years, giving prospective customers the assurance of the highest accreditation The King Escalope can achieve.
The King Kitchen
The King Kitchen was formed as part of the King Escalope to cater specifically for the wholesale side of the business which continues to grow. Martyn’s wife, Mary, has joined the King Kitchen after a lengthy career in Food & Beverage sales and is heading up the King Kitchen Wholesale. Mary is also looking to expand into the Residential, Nursing and Care Home market.
What makes us different?
The King Kitchen philosophy is to prepare home-cooked food in commercial quantities that align with its Homestyle Promise: that all products are made using fresh ingredients, no preservatives or additives are used therefore all foods can be portioned and frozen if needed.
The kitchen is an approved premises, with an EU accreditation which means the customer knows that the process of producing the cooked foods has gone through very strict food safety procedures so that quality is assured. The King Kitchen is one of the only wholesale catering companies to hold this accreditation in the London area.
