About Us
Hider Food Imports Ltd is a family-owned business which has been trading since 1965. During this time we have gained a reputation for supplying quality products which are delivered by our own fleet of vehicles. A dedicated telesales department is employed to support our external sales team in order to provide all customers with a rapid response to any specific requirements.
Our best selling brands include Green & Black’s, RJ’s Licorice, Fudges Bakery, Botham's of Whitby, Mrs Crimble’s, Border Biscuits, Fentimans, Belvoir Drinks, Walkers Shortbread, Duchy Original and Buderim Ginger.
We are direct importers of the best-selling Hazer Baba Turkish Delight, traditional Tuscan specialities from Corsini, quality Spanish sugar free and premium chocolate bars from Chocolate Valor, genuine Bavarian Organic Breads, seasonal Christmas Stollen from Schlunder Brot und Kuchen and Clement Faugier Chestnuts.
We produce Christmas and Easter brochures each year which feature a superb range of luxury gift food, as well as our regular quarterly product list.

Markets Served
With such a wide variety of products, Hider Foods are linked to many sectors and many household names. Our products end up on the shelves of some of the top multiple retailers along with many other more specialist delicatessens and independent retailers, including garden centres and farm shops.
Department stores and their high quality food halls select our products to adorn their shelves. Harrods, Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason, Harvey Nichols and House of Fraser are well respected names and well serviced customers of Hider Foods.
Whilst branded products are a large part of our business, the main core business is in nut kernels and dried fruits. These are UK re-cleaned on site using the latest laser technology x rays and packed “in house” in our modern production facilities.
Retail packs are not always required, and for the manufacturer or larger user we can deliver directly imported ingredients. These ingredients go on to make fine snack bars, ready meals, prepared sandwiches and cakes. In the light of the busier household, where the key to eating is convenience, this is a rapidly expanding part of the business.
