About Us

Gold’n Kettle Foods was founded in 1973 by Bob Holt and his family. By that time Bob had already cultivated a faithful following of 20 years in foodservice sales while representing a national company. Bob’s time-honored principles of integrity and enthusiasm remain the driving force behind Gold’n Kettle’s success today.

Our seafood restaurant began buying products from Bob Holt in 1954 VIA the national company he then represented. Since 1973, now the Gold’n Kettle Company, we have continued our association with the Holt family going on 67 years. As an example of dedication, we recently lost our source for our distinctive signature spice blend. Rick Holt, a very customer-oriented man, oversaw a custom formulation for us, and it is even better than the original…what a great company!

As previous owner of a popular restaurant for fifty three years I had opportunity to use many soup bases and gravy mixes from various vendors. None of these items could compare to the quality, consistency, and price of products from Gold’n Kettle. These bases not only taste homemade, but are effortless to use or prepare. After switching full time to using these products I would regularly receive numerous compliments from our patrons. I began supporting the Holt family, and Gold’n Kettle back in the 1970’s and have continued ever since. Rick is an outstanding person who is always there for quick delivery and service. I present a solid five-star rating to this company.

Hops and Barleys, founded in 1994, began from day one using many soup bases, dressing mixes, and spices from Gold’n Kettle. At that time Richie, and I had been exposed to the Gold’n Kettle line for many years while employed at Jim Dandy’s two locations. It has always been convenient to deal with this privately-owned and operated family business. Their service has been impressive and outstanding to say the least. GNK represents quality products that are better than found among the typical food service distributor.

We’ve been buying soup bases from Gold’n Kettle for nearly fifteen years. Their products are the very best with service second to none. Rick has been one heck of a good man to deal with the entire time making doing business a breeze.

As a teacher at Valley View School District I had my first taste of this unusual and delicious Creamy Garlic Dressing. When asked, the food service manager told me it came from Gold’n Kettle Foods; we have been using this dressing mix at our family-owned café ever since! Over the many years since, we have grown to purchase many items from Gold’n Kettle. Their service, quality products, and ease of being a customer remain never-ending.

We continue to prefer, and enjoy using Gold’n Kettle soup bases and other items over the many others on the market; your competitive pricing brings added value as well. We look forward to buying further items long into the future.

I have been using Gold’n Kettle soup bases since 1991. At that time I worked at Murray’s Inn, a popular restaurant destination in downtown Wilkes-Barre PA. I have since settled in Florida and continue to depend on Gold’n Kettle products. They make doing business in Florida effortless. Once an order is placed it arrives at my door within three days. They are the best name in soup bases I have ever used!
