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 and how it can be realised for you.
  • 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).
