About Us

From our family to your kitchen.

Three generations of good food. It began with Round's Supermarket — one of Tasmania's first, run by the Gumley family in 1950s Hobart. Phil and Julie Gumley founded Southern Foodservice in 1989, and it's been family-run ever since — the supplier of choice for Tasmania's premium eateries, where you're never just an account.

Solar on our Glenorchy warehouse ☀️
Sustainability & Local Sourcing

Powered by the Tasmanian sun.

The solar panels on our Glenorchy warehouse turn Tassie sunshine into cleaner deliveries. It's one part of how we keep things local and low-waste — knowing our growers, cutting food miles and doing right by the island we feed.

Local first

We source from growers within a few hours of our depot wherever possible.

Less waste

Smart ordering and food rescue partnerships keep good produce out of landfill.

Strong recycling

A dedicated recycling program keeps cardboard, plastics and packaging out of landfill.

Solar powered

Our warehouse runs on solar power — cleaner energy behind every delivery.

Fair partnerships

Long-term relationships with growers — fair prices, honest dealing.

Tasmanian — proud partner of Brand Tasmania

A registered Brand Tasmania partner — proudly grown, made and delivered on the island we feed.
