If you run a restaurant, grocery store, hotel, or catering business and you're looking for a reliable wholesale supplier of authentic Latin American and Mexican food and drink in the UK, this guide is for you.
We'll walk you through exactly who can register, what you get as a trade customer, and how to start buying - whether you want to collect from our cash and carry in Leyton or receive next-day delivery across London and the South East
WHO CAN REGISTER AS A TRADE CUSTOMER?
La Casa de Jack is a trade-only wholesale supplier. We work with businesses across the UK hospitality and retail sectors, including:
- Restaurants, cafes, and bars serving Latin American, Mexican, or fusion cuisine
- Independent grocery stores and ethnic food retailers
- Hotels and catering groups
- Wholesale distributors and food service businesses
- Online retailers and marketplace sellers
If your business sells or serves food and drink, you are eligible to open a trade account or purchase directly through our cash and carry. We supply businesses of all sizes - from independent neighbourhood restaurants to large hotel groups.
Some of our long-term clients include Marriott, Gaucho, and Hard Rock Hotel - but we work just as closely with independent operators who need a specialist supplier they can rely on.
WHAT YOU GET AS A TRADE CUSTOMER
Opening a trade account with La Casa de Jack gives you access to the largest range of authentic Latin American and Mexican wholesale products in the UK.
Over 1,000 products from across Latin America
We source directly from Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Brazil, and Costa Rica. Our range covers every category a hospitality or retail buyer needs:
- Frozen and chilled - empanadas, arepas, yuca, plantain, tropical fruits, and chilled dairy products
- Ambient and pantry - Harina PAN, aji amarillo paste, dulce de leche, hot sauces, canned goods, rice, beans, and cooking bases
- Drinks and beverages - Postobon, Pony Malta, Club Colombia beer, Aguardiente, Zhumir, and a full range of Colombian, Venezuelan, and Peruvian soft drinks and spirits
- Confectionery and snacks - authentic Latin American sweets, chocolates, and snacks from Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela
Exclusive products you cannot source elsewhere
We are the exclusive UK distributor of Chatica - a premium range of Latin American snacks including cassava chips, plantain chips, and aji-seasoned products. As a trade customer, you get access to Chatica and other specialist lines that no other UK wholesaler carries.
Trade-only wholesale pricing
Trade account holders receive wholesale prices not available to the general public. If you place regular orders, you can also discuss credit terms and priority ordering with your dedicated account manager.

Cash and carry in Leyton
Our warehouse is based at 1 Lammas Road, Leyton, London, E10 7QU - easily accessible from Central and East London via the A112. There is no minimum order for collections, so you can visit as often as you need and take exactly what you want. This works particularly well for businesses that need flexibility or want to inspect products before buying.
Next-day delivery
For trade customers who prefer to order in advance, we offer next-day delivery across London and the South East. Nationwide delivery is also available for businesses outside our immediate area. Contact us to confirm cut-off times and minimum order values for your delivery zone.
HOW TO OPEN A TRADE ACCOUNT: STEP BY STEP
Getting started is straightforward. Here is how the process works:
Step 1: Get in touch
Contact us by phone on 020 7231 2282 or by email at jack@chatica.co to express your interest in opening a trade account. Alternatively, you can apply directly through our website.
Step 2: Share your business details
We will ask for basic information about your business - what you do, where you are based, and what products you are likely to need. This helps us set up your account correctly and connect you with the right account manager.
Step 3: Account approval
Trade accounts are approved quickly. Once your account is set up, you will have immediate access to trade pricing across our full range.
Step 4: Start buying
You can begin purchasing straight away - either by visiting our cash and carry in Leyton or by placing your first delivery order. Your account manager will be on hand to help you navigate the range and identify the products that best fit your menu or retail offer.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a VAT number to register?
You do not need to be VAT registered to open a trade account, but you do need to be operating a legitimate food or hospitality business. We are a trade-only supplier and do not sell to members of the public.
Is there a minimum order value?
There is no minimum order for cash and carry collections at our Leyton warehouse. For delivery orders, contact us to confirm the minimum for your area.
Can I visit the warehouse before registering?
Yes. You are welcome to visit our cash and carry in Leyton and purchase on the day. Opening a trade account gives you access to credit terms and priority ordering, but it is not required for cash and carry purchases.
Do you supply outside London?
Yes. While our cash and carry is based in Leyton, we deliver to businesses across the UK. Next-day delivery is available across London and the South East, with scheduled deliveries to other regions.
What countries do your products come from?
We import directly from Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Brazil, and Costa Rica. Every product is authentic and sourced from origin - not repackaged or substituted.
How quickly can I get my first delivery?
For trade accounts with delivery, we offer next-day dispatch across London and the South East for orders placed before our cut-off time. Contact us to confirm the exact cut-off for your area.
What makes La Casa de Jack different from general wholesalers like Bookers or Wanis?
General cash-and-carry operators carry a small and generic selection of Latin American products. We carry over 1,000 authentic products sourced directly from Latin America, including exclusive lines like Chatica that no other UK wholesaler stocks. If your business needs genuine Latin American ingredients - not substitutes - we are the only UK wholesaler built specifically for that.
