About Us

Our History, the UK's original caviar house...

W.G. White was founded in 1895 by William George White with the aim of bringing to the UK that epitome of luxury foods - caviar.

In those early days, fresh caviar from the Caspian sea was tinned, encased in ice and transported to London in large oak barrels. In William White's basement warehouse in Orange Street, Soho, the caviar was decanted into returnable earthenware 'crocks' and distributed to the finest restaurants, hotels, clubs and to world's premier shipping companies whose liners plied the Atlantic Ocean.

Today over a century later, W.G. White continues to supply the finest caviar and gourmet foods to discerning customers who appreciate and expect only the highest quality and personal service.
