The corporate Simtom site puts the group story into perspective by tracing the company’s history back to its roots in 1977. The Indian ethnic Timtom site, brings with it sheer pedigree and quality, nurtured and carried over 4 decades of manufacturing fine Indian foods and accompaniments, for a discerning market.

Finishing the triumvirate is our Chef’s Speciality brand website, demonstrating our expertise in creating and manufacturing fine dining sauces, pastes and condiments for a global market.

These three websites are a ‘window’ into the inner workings of our company which we’re proud to display as a measure of our success in the fast growing UK food sector.

We’re live!

Our Chef’s Speciality team are always ‘on display’, showcasing the latest in our ranges of cooking sauces and pastes.

The Chef’s Speciality range has become a ‘go to’ product for the catering industry where quality and authenticity have

to be rolled out with speed. The Chef’s Speciality brand has

achieved all this by being stocked in the ‘own label’ shelves of such notable

high street retailers like Aldi and Lidl in the UK. Chef’s Speciality products are also to be found

in the kitchens of the MOD, on Cruise Liners and many School dinner canteens, where the demand for high quality cooking sauces are all the rage.

Partnering with FairwayWhen it comes to own label manufacturing and bespoke food creation, Simtom Foods are the natural partner of choice.

After a lot of bench testing and product refinement, Simtom were selected by Fairway Foods to produce a carefully chosen range of popular international food sauces. The end result was a set of catering sauces that are unique in flavour and sets the marker high, when it comes to provenance, quality and flavour.

Each partnership brings with it its own set of parameters and challenges. Our task was to create a product that is truly special for our customers that will be both memorable in taste and recognised as confirming the brand.
