About Us
Viking Food was established in 1984 in Bermuda as a local wholesale business specializing in importing chilled and frozen food from around the world.
Today Viking Food plays an important role in supplying Bermuda with the islands need for quality food, using our fleet of seven modern, refrigerated, trucks ensures orders are delivered on time and within temperature. We equip all our vehicles with GPS tracking; ensuring demand is met with great efficacy.
Our new cold storage in Southampton received it first products in July 2008 and will play an important role in the future of Viking Food. The facility is designed to hold more than 1000 pallets of frozen food and over 300 pallets of chilled food. Our loading dock is the first in Bermuda to be climate controlled and will ensure products are not exposed to high temperatures.
We source foods from around the world, especially from Europe and the United Kingdom, where our association with PAR Foods Ltd, supplies us by air and sea. All our sourced foods can be found here, also, please visit PAR Foods Ltd for further information of food stocks.
