Supplying the UK's food industry since 1979
The official sole UK distributor of Berkel food machinery. Trusted by butchers, delis, restaurants and food manufacturers for over 45 years.
From a single workshop to the UK's leading food machinery supplier
SMS Food was founded in 1979 in Macclesfield, Cheshire. What started as a small operation selling and servicing meat machinery has grown into the UK's premier supplier of commercial food equipment, serving thousands of businesses across the country.
For over four decades, we have built our reputation on three principles: stocking the best equipment, providing genuine spare parts, and backing everything with hands-on technical expertise. Our engineers have maintained, repaired and installed food machinery in every type of setting, from independent high-street butchers to large-scale food production facilities.
Today, under new management, we are more committed than ever to delivering quality products and responsive customer service. Our team combines decades of industry knowledge with a modern approach to how we serve our customers.

Simon Cross
Operations Director
Honest, helpful and reliable. The equipment we ordered was delivered right on time. The team helped with installation and even stayed around to help us learn how to use the machines. Their prices are very competitive too. I definitely recommend SMS!

Our family butchers shop has been purchasing equipment with SMS for over 25 years and we’ve always been impressed with the quality of the products and the friendly customer service. No need to look elsewhere - SMS has everything we need!
Abdul Rahim

A big thank you to SMS for getting our equipment to France. It was not easy with post-Brexit logistics, but the team came through and made the whole process much easier. Tracey was excellent all the way through. Customer service 10 out of 10.
