H – L® Food & Drink Brand Brunch | Autumn - with Gutter&Stars Winery

What is Brand Brunch?

A monthly morning gathering for entrepreneurial food & drinks producers, brands, and retailers who want to meet with their peers, share experiences, and grow together.

Our first Brand Brunch, with Jonathan Reed of Paddy & Scott's

What can I expect?

Our community aims to be a peer-to-peer group of food and drink brand owners, exclusively for founders, owners, or managers of food and drink producers.

Our brand brunch is a safe space to meet, listen to, and share stories with others who may have been in your shoes—and even discuss some of the issues or challenges you face in your business.

In a monthly morning gathering, we hear from a food and drink business that has overcome odds or faced challenges that others can hopefully benefit from—either personally or professionally.

Based on the feedback we've received and for the cost of a bite to eat, we think you'll be glad you joined us.

"...it's good to have a relaxed series of events to make connections and find ways to work with others in the local food and drink sector."

Do you have another question? Our additional information may help:

Who is this event for?

Our community is a peer-to-peer group comprising food and drink producers alike. Bakers, pie makers, coffee roasters, breweries, distilleries; all producers are welcome to join. Sorry, but we cannot accept bookings from suppliers or partners in the industry, and we will cancel such bookings.

Why is there a limited capacity of 15 members at each Brand Brunch?

A smaller group at each event allows those attending to learn more from others. We aim for the group to be able to support one another. Each event is an opportunity to hear success stories or challenges our peers may face.

When is the event held?

Monthly—the Autumn Series runs on the fourth Thursday of each month, September to October 2024, from 10 a.m. until noon.

Where will it be held?

Our Norwich event takes place at Yalm Foodhall in the Royal Arcade. We use the private dining room, which creates an excellent atmosphere for up to 20 people.

Can I park nearby?

Yes. Norwich offers many excellent parking options. The Forum, Castle Quarter, and St Andrews are three convenient parking options. Yalm is also only 15 minutes from Norwich Station.

I'm not from Norfolk. Can I join you?

The more, the merrier. We'll warmly welcome you and be glad of your company wherever your food or drink business is based.

Are there plans to grow the event outside of Norfolk?

Yes! Our next steps are to reach another area in the East of England and probably a London event. We're looking for the ideal locations and venues now. After that, you'll have to watch this space. We've already got friends as far away as Cornwall and Scotland.
