Limes Chopped: citrus fruits ready to use in bars and events

Limes Chopped Ltd is a British company dedicated to preparing citrus fruits and other fruits for immediate use in cocktails and drinks. Its activity consists of chopping, dehydrating and juicing limes, lemons, oranges, grapefruits and other fruits, and delivering the product ready to consume in cocktail bars, nightclubs, restaurants, tea houses, event organisers and coffee shops. The company presents itself as a specialist in removing the workload involved in preparing fruit in a busy bar.

Origin and business approach

According to its corporate story, the idea was born after more than twenty years of experience working in some of Manchester's busiest bars. During a hectic Christmas event at Manchester Central, the founders observed the difficulty of preparing citrus fruits for cocktails during peak activity and conceived a service to solve that need. What began as a conversation between colleagues became a solution for Manchester's hospitality industry, focused on transforming drink presentation and preparation. The company states that its team has accumulated more than fifteen years of work behind the bar.

Products and available categories

The Limes Chopped catalogue is organised into several categories: limes, lemons, oranges, grapefruits, other fruits, herbs, vegetables, pure juices, citrus peels, Funkin PRO, paper straws and bundles. Among the specific products shown on the website are lime wedges, lime half slices, lemon half slices, orange half slices, grapefruit slices, mint stems and leaves, cucumber slices, pineapple chunks, half passion fruits, half strawberries, raspberries, 1-litre lime juice and 1-litre lemon juice. The company states that products are delivered fresh, in airtight or vacuum-packed containers, and that it can make daily deliveries if necessary.

Services for different types of establishments

The proposal targets very specific hospitality profiles. For cocktail bars, the service allows them to have fruit already prepared and speed up drink preparation during peak demand. In nightclubs, where volume sales are paramount, it makes it easier to serve without wasting time on preparation. In restaurants with a bar, it helps balance cleaning, cellar stock management and service. In tea houses, the product makes it possible to offer a freshly cut slice of lemon without spending time preparing it. For event organisers with mobile bars, it solves the lack of space to prepare the day's fruit. Even in coffee shops, where lemon is not common, the company highlights the possibility of serving a fresh slice for herbal teas.

Delivery areas

Limes Chopped lists a wide range of delivery areas in the United Kingdom: Manchester, Wakefield, Chester, Cambridge, Birmingham, Wigan, Canterbury, Bristol, Harrogate, York, Leatherhead, Guildford, Nottingham, London, Sheffield, Newcastle upon Tyne, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bournemouth and Exeter. The company notes that national coverage will be coming soon.

Team and work philosophy

The company describes its preparation team as a group that applies criteria of hygiene, quality, consistency and reliability. The website mentions three people: Sarah, head of the cutting team and hygiene expert; Lucie, management assistant; and Emma, lead cutting manager. The team is presented as a group of people with experience in the hospitality sector who have put into practice a simple but useful idea for bars, restaurants and events in the Manchester area.
