Our Story – Eurostar Foods Wholesale

Our Story

Our journey to becoming one of the UK’s leading specialist ingredients suppliers.

Where It All Began

1986

Philip Bull began his mission to produce a high quality chapati flour. At the time he was working for a well-established flour mill, Hills & Partridge. Philip was driven by the fact that the only chapati flour on the market at that time was made from poor quality 9.5% protein wheats. With a strong passion and commitment for sourcing only the best ingredients, Philip was determined to create a better-quality chapati flour for consumers.

Success!

1987

Philip was the first to bring to market a chapati flour with 12% protein. The brand was called Star Atta, a market leader at the time, that blew competition out of the water! The brand later became Gold Star Atta and is still sold on the market today. It is also worth mentioning Philip was involved in the development of a brand called Maharani Chapatti, which is still widely known in the marketplace. The success with Star Atta gave Philip the drive and determination to build his future business, and his brands supplying high end ingredients.

Building The Foundations

1994

Philip set up Eurostar Commodities. A family run business who have now been successfully supplying the finest commodities and ingredients to food manufacturing, wholesale, foodservice, ethnic and retail markets, for over 25 years. Philip and his team have established strong, long-standing relationships with a host of world-renowned producers.

Listening To Our Customers

2018

With an increasing demand from customers for a gluten free chapatti flour it quickly became apparent to Philip that the products on the market were of poor quality, and most were made from starches, fillers and gums. Philip was once again on a mission to create a high-quality gluten free flour his customers would enjoy. Philip and his team also started to receive demand for the other products they supplied to bulk trade and wholesale in small pack sizes fit for consumers.

Eurostar Foods Online Shop Was Born

2019

Popular ranges which have been meeting the demands of the UK’s food industry since 1994, are now available directly to individual consumers. Available in smaller pack sizes. Here you will find an extensive range of niche and exclusive products including a fab range of gluten free products.

Market Leader Once Again!

2019 - Present

Philip and the team have been astounded by the recognition and praise the flour has received from wholesale trade and online consumers alike with so many customers who are gluten intolerant so grateful to be able to enjoy the foods they have missed once again.
