Food Safaris & Culinary Tours

Immersive food tours designed to inspire teams across retail and foodservice.

Our Food Safaris are expertly curated culinary tours that take teams inside the most exciting food destinations — from high-performing retail concepts and innovative grab-and-go formats to standout restaurants, cafés and emerging foodservice operators.

We design immersive food tours that help teams understand what’s working now, what’s gaining momentum, and how great food concepts translate across channels.

By combining tasting, observation and expert-led insight, Food Safaris turn real-world experiences into practical inspiration for menus, products and customer experiences.

Why Our Food Safaris Work

Designed for real-world impact.

Operator-level insight, not surface trends

Our Food Safaris are created by ex-operators who understand how food businesses actually work.

We go beyond what looks good on the plate to unpack formats, margins, menu logic, service models and customer behaviour — the detail most food tours never touch.
Chefs behind the thinking

Each safari is designed with the help of our award-winning chefs, ensuring routes, venues and tastings are built around flavour, technique and execution.

That chef-led input means every stop is chosen for what it teaches, not just the latest fad.
Detail you won’t find elsewhere

Every venue is explored through a structured lens, bespoke to each safari, from ingredients, flavour construction and menu architecture, to pricing, operational flow and scalability.

You don’t just experience great food, you understand why it works and how it could translate.
Insight that connects retail and foodservice

With vast experience across retail and foodservice, we connect ideas across channels, showing how concepts evolve between cafés, QSR, grocery, convenience and hospitality (and where the real opportunities sit).

What our clients say:

“I wanted to say a huge thank you for the session that you arranged for our team and for all the work that has gone into the superb report that you’ve created for us.

“A huge amount of work has gone from you guys to deliver a really inspirational report and innovation workshop for us!

“Thanks also for your patience as we chucked new ideas and themes at you to work into the report, and for the regular check ins which were super helpful along the way.

“You have all been a pleasure to work with, we have found the whole experience really enjoyable and inspirational and look forward to recommending you to others and working together again.”

Tom Edwards

"Working with Egg Soldiers has really helped us to think differently about our offer, the team immersed themselves into our brand and sought out the latest food trends and techniques that worked for our business.

"The experience is a collaborative one, and we have really enjoyed the relationship that has formed working on our last two menu projects."
