About Food for Thought

About us

We are Food For Thought, a community interest company (CIC) made up of local business owners, organisations, and experts who are working together to build a vibrant and engaged community that champions positive trade and a sustainable and circular economy for the county’s food, drink, farming, and hospitality sectors.

Get ready to tantalise your taste buds and feed your curiosity at our regular events or Chapters, as we like to call them.

All our Chapters will be packed with information, insight, and advice for you to take back and use in your business and led by industry experts covering everything from PR and branding to business growth, diversification, and market disruption – we've got it all!

Subsidised Tickets!

Thanks to the support from our partners all Chapter tickets are subsidised making these events accessible for everyone and will cost only £10 (per event, per person).

As all our Chapters will be held at local food and drink businesses, 100% of revenue generated from ticket sales will be reinvested back into the local economy.

#SUPPORTLOCAL

Supporting the local food, drink, farming, and hospitality sectors creates jobs, sustains local agriculture, and contributes to the area's economic stability. By choosing to buy locally, you help preserve the rich culinary heritage and traditions of our region, reduce environmental impact through shorter supply chains, and promote a sense of community pride and connection. Ultimately, supporting local food and drink businesses ensures a diverse, resilient, and flourishing local economy.
