Cash and carry and wholesale
Pallet and container pricing for wholesalers supplying the independent grocery trade around Southall and the wider Greater London area.
Wholesale supply into London
Southall and Wembley are the two densest Indian grocery streets in Europe, and both have their own cash and carry supply behind them. Nothing else in Britain moves at this speed.
The trade in London
Southall · Wembley · Tooting · Ilford · East Ham
These are the districts we quote against. If you buy or sell in any of them, you are who this page is for.
How stock arrives
Sea freight into London Gateway or Felixstowe, then onward by road. Roughly 22 to 30 days from Nhava Sheva or Mundra. Full clearance requirements are on the United Kingdom export page.
Who we supply in London
Whether you already import or have never brought in a container, the enquiry starts the same way.
Independent grocery and supermarkets
Case quantities through your existing distributor, or direct if you buy at volume. A glass marble bottle earns a facing that a fourth cola never will.
Restaurants and catering
A bottled drink that arrives at the table as something to look at. Restaurants in this trade have a drinks list problem, and this solves part of it.
Importers taking the territory
If nobody is bringing Indian marble soda into London yet, that is the opportunity, and it comes with exclusivity in writing.
What you are stocking
A 300 ml lemon soda in a codd-neck glass bottle sealed by a marble — the same bottle sold worldwide as ramune, made in India where it has been called goli soda for a century. 12 bottles per crate, 6 months shelf life, FSSAI licence 20926012000879.
It sells to two people at once: someone who grew up with it, and someone who has never seen a bottle open that way.

Wholesale in London
Do you supply Indian drinks wholesale in London?
We are an Indian producer, not a local wholesaler, so we supply London by the container through an importer or distributor of record in United Kingdom. If you are already importing, we can quote you directly. If you are a retailer or restaurant, tell us and we will point you to whoever holds the territory, or open it if nobody does.
How does stock reach London?
Sea freight from India into London Gateway or Felixstowe, then onward by road. Roughly 22 to 30 days from Nhava Sheva or Mundra on the water. We produce to order rather than shipping from stock, so shelf life is intact when the container lands — which matters because several markets set a minimum remaining life at the port.
What paperwork do I need to import into London?
United Kingdom is regulated by Food Standards Agency and the importing local authority. No product registration and no pre-approval. The importer becomes the responsible food business operator and carries the legal duty for the label being correct. That shifts the burden onto your buyer, which is exactly why your buyer will want the label right before he commits. The full requirement list is on our United Kingdom export page, including the part most importers get wrong.
What is the minimum order for London?
One 20ft container as a standard first order. Below that, sea freight per case starts to dominate the landed cost and the numbers stop working. Consolidated trial quantities are possible — ask.
What exactly is the product?
Zeros Classic Lemon Goli Soda: a 300 ml lemon soda in a codd-neck glass bottle sealed with a marble, the same format sold worldwide as ramune. 12 bottles per crate, 6 months shelf life, made under FSSAI licence 20926012000879 in Himachal Pradesh.
