Welcome to Ellsey’s – bulk vinegar exporters and a key supplier to UK food manufacturers
Ellsey & Co is a unique British company. For over 80 years we have brewed stocked and supplied a single product – VINEGAR. We have a long standing reputation within the UK food industry for exceptional service – something that we work hard to protect on a daily basis. Our flexibility and quick reaction times will give you the peace of mind to know that your vinegar is where you need it, when you need it.
We have always been a family owned company with many long serving members of staff. Although we are rightly proud of our past we are great believers in investing for the future. Our state of the art IT systems and continuous staff development programs give us capabilities well beyond our size and enables us to constantly evolve, an essential ingredient in today’s fast moving business world.

Flexitanks 21,500 litres
‘Flexitanks’ fit neatly inside standard export containers and
are very convenient to handle. We export as far afield as
New Zealand, USA and UAE.

IBC 1000 Litres
We specialise in delivering 1000 litre palletised IBCs
and offer unparalleled prices and service levels.

25 Litre Drums
The smallest containers we provide are 25 litre drums,
minimum order quantity is 32 drums (800 litres).
Due to the high weight of our products, we have stopped supplying in 210 litre drums and customers will require a fork lift truck at the delivery site for unloading. We cannot provide tail lifts as our pallets are too heavy for manual handling.
If you need to order a smaller quantity, Vinegar Tips supply many of our vinegars in smaller, more flexible, quantities.
The following vinegars are always in stock
At Ellsey’s we aim to fulfil all our customers’ vinegar requirements so we always maintain large stocks for quick delivery and we hold the widest selection of vinegars in the UK.
Vinegar Powders
With our extensive selection of vinegars, and established partnerships with UK spray drying companies, we are able to supply off the shelf vinegar powders or work with our customers to achieve specific requirements.
