About Sun & Spice
Built to make premium Sri Lankan sourcing easier for UK businesses.
Sun & Spice was created to bridge the gap between Sri Lankan producers and UK retailers, restaurants and hospitality businesses looking for reliable premium supply.
Our Purpose
We do the supply chain work so you don't have to.
Many UK businesses want better quality, origin-led products. The problem is that direct overseas sourcing is rarely simple. There are suppliers to chase, freight to coordinate, paperwork to manage, customs to clear and lead times that slip.
Most retailers and kitchens do not have the time or infrastructure to take that on directly. Sun & Spice exists to remove that friction. We source premium Sri Lankan spices and food products, handle the import and supply chain work, and deliver into UK businesses in the formats they actually need.
What We Believe
Five beliefs that shape how we operate.
These shape how we choose suppliers, how we structure supply, and how we treat the businesses we work with.
- Quality should be traceable back to its origin
- Sourcing should be simpler than it usually is
- Businesses need supply they can actually rely on
- Sri Lankan products deserve stronger UK representation
- Long-term partnerships beat one-off transactions
What Makes Us Different
A supply partner built for the way trade actually buys.
UK-based, end-to-end
A UK point of contact, UK delivery, and a UK business to invoice. We handle freight, customs, documentation and import in-house, so trade buyers do not have to deal with overseas supply directly.
Focused on Sri Lankan sourcing
We are not a generic global wholesaler. The depth of our supply relationships in Sri Lanka is what gives our trade buyers confidence in consistency and provenance.
Built for B2B, not retail
Our pricing, packing, communication and supply rhythm are shaped around how trade actually buys — not how consumers click through a website.
Premium positioning
Our range is built to support retailers, restaurants and hospitality businesses that trade on quality. We supply origin-led product to operations that value it.

Accreditations & Quality
