2021 BROCHURE www.funnybones.co.ukWelcome to Funnybones’ exciting new 2021 brochure and a special welcome to all our new customers who have made us their chosen partner. We can’t wait to share our passion with you. To all our existing customers – and many of you have been with us since the start of our culinary journey 35 years ago – a big thank you for your continued business. Our passion for exceptional food and service has made us the UK’s leading importer and supplier of authentic ingredients and meal solutions to the restaurant and foodservice sector. Although there’s very little we don’t know about all things Mexican, American, Asian and Oriental, we never stop looking for fresh inspiration. Creating new product ‘eureka moments’ that deliver excitement and taste is what Funnybones is about. Being part of the Grace Foods Group, our product range extends onto a truly global stage. Last year’s launch of Irie Eats, our Caribbean street food brand, was a great success and has taken on-trend Jamaican food into new foodservice spaces. This year we’ve improved our Mexican street food concept, La Mexicana Cantina, with a more flexible menu offering that combines traditional favourites with desserts and street sodas. We know you’ll be as excited about our products for 2021 as we are. The challenge is to get through the brochure without your taste buds exploding! We look forward to doing business with you.

The owners of an American-style restaurant in London decided to launch a new product called Baby Back Ribs. A hugely popular item on menus in the US, the ribs soon proved a big hit in London too. As demand grew and new rib variants were launched, the owners had their lightbulb moment: to create an authentic Mexican and American food service business aimed at restaurants and caterers. The result was Funnybones Foodservice, named from the fact that restaurant-goers would refer to the Baby Back Ribs as ‘those funny little bones’. Success was quick to follow and the rest, as they say, is history. Over our 30 plus years, we’ve gone from strength to strength. Today, we are proud to be a market leader and continue to be the leading importer and distributor of innovative, multi-temperature Mexican and American foods in the UK food and catering sectors. Now part of the GraceKennedy Group, Funnybones isn’t just about ribs anymore. As a result of exciting new ethnic and global influences, we’ve expanded to create an extensive portfolio of quality branded products to suit all tastes and styles. It’s a long way from those ‘funny little bones’ we started off with – but what an exciting culinary journey we’re on! We are committed to providing our customers not only with the very finest quality products, but a professional service that consistently exceeds expectations on all levels.
