At ReadyChef, we’ve been helping chefs save time in the kitchen for over 60 years - by doing the slicing, dicing, peeling and chopping, so you don’t have to.
This brochure brings together our full freshly prepped range, from potatoes and vegetables to fruit and salads. Every product is made from quality produce, prepared in-house to the spec you need, and delivered ready to use or ready to cook.
We’re proud of our Irish roots, our trusted grower relationships, and the standards we hold ourselves to every day - including BRCGS AA accreditation with no exclusions.
Whether you’re running a busy kitchen, managing labour pressures, or simply looking for more consistency on the plate, we’re here to support you with prepped solutions you can rely on.
Our story began in the 1960s, when William Tallon Snr set out with one simple goal – supplying the freshest produce to the foodservice sector. Over 60 years on, we’re still focused on the same purpose: delivering freshly prepped veg, fruit and salads to chefs across the island of Ireland.
We do this by sourcing quality produce from trusted growers, with over 73% sourced seasonally in Ireland.
We do it by preparing everything in-house at our dedicated facility – giving us full control from prep to delivery, fresher product and longer shelf life.
We do it by holding BRCGS AA accreditation with no exclusions, ensuring safety, consistency and reliability in every order.
We do it by working as a true partner to chefs – tailoring cuts and mixes to save labour, reduce waste and keep kitchens moving.
In 2024, we joined forces with Sysco. Together, we’re raising the standard for prepped solutions – combining expertise and service with greater scale and innovation.
ReadyChef slices, dices, chops, peels and grates so you don’t have to.

Mark Taylor & Sons Co. Dublin
Mark Taylor and brother Alan are third-generation turnip farmers on 30 acres at Chapel Farm, Lusk in North County Dublin. Turnips are harvested twice a week for maximum freshness and sent direct to chefs across Ireland or to factories for processing. Once harvested the root vegetable is chilled, washed, trimmed and prepared immediately, giving chefs a quality product that saves on prep time. In 2014, the Taylor brothers also began growing fresh chillies under polythene, diversifying their crop offering and improving the farm’s sustainability.

Robert Carrick Co. Dublin
As a fourth generation grower, Robert has been growing broccoli on his family farm for many years. From more basic techniques to his grandparents’ revolutionary changes and, eventually, Robert’s current handling of the business, their family farm has been carefully tended to over the years.
Robert says: ‘Our broccoli is freshly picked each morning and as the orders come in, the broccoll is then packed to order. These orders are then placed in our specially designed cold-room. Each delivery is made that day and hopefully in the chef’s kitchen that same evening. Broccoli has a high nutritional value and is a versatile vegetable. A great serving suggestion is with melted butter & seasoned with flaked almonds. It has a typical shelf-life of 3-5 days once refrigerated.

Clarke’s Fresh Fruit Co. Meath
Established in 1960, Clarke’s Fresh Fruit has been hand-picking strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries for over 60 years, with an impeccable reputation for quality and freshness. Owner Pat Clarke began with 10 drills of strawberries on the family farm in Starmullen, and now farms 70 acres from May to November, employing over 170 staff. Stem-picking means that each strawberry is carefully nipped to avoid bruising, so every punnet arrives in its prime.
