Food, Drink & Hospitality networking session

Food, Drink & Hospitality Businesses are warmly invited to Dhillons Brewery, Hales Industrial Estate Rowley's Green Ln, Coventry CV6 6AT, on 8 October 2025 (9.30 to 11.30am) for an exciting opportunity to connect with fellow hospitality, food and drink industry professionals.

Alongside the food and drink producers, the invitation is extended to local venues, cafes, bars and restaurants within Coventry and Warwickshire for a morning of collaboration, innovation sharing and networking.

The format will be fairly informal to allow maximum time for people to showcase their businesses and products and is the perfect opportunity to connect with this sector.

Stephanie Kerr, Chief Executive of BID Leamington (Business Improvement District) will be giving an overview of the hugely successful Food & Drink Festival as well as ongoing work with local hospitality sector businesses to highlight the perfect storm of issues that they are currently facing. She will share feedback from the cafes, pubs and restaurants she engages with alongside Lydia Papaphilippopoulos-Snape, owner of Warwick Street Kitchen, who was recently invited to give evidence to the Business and Trade Committee in the House of Commons.

This event is organised by Warwickshire County Council and Coventry City Council and as part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Food and Drink Producers Network.
