Booker is to freeze the prices on more than 250 of its popular catering lines until 31 May.

Items subject to the price freeze include pork shoulder, beef joints, boneless turkey and premium chips.

The retailer said it was keen to include roasting joints as part of the price freeze so customers could benefit over the busy Easter period.

The news comes as soaring inflation has caused some wholesalers to raise prices for customers.

“With food prices continuing to rise and uncertainty in the market, Booker is delighted to reassure our catering customers that over 250 lines will be fixed until the end of May, allowing them to make more and save more during a busy season ahead,” said Stuart Hyslop, MD of catering and small business at Booker.

“By listening to feedback, we have extended the price lockdown on some key items such as chips, while including other lines for the first time.”
