Overview
The Taste event (now in it's 21st year) rounds up the hottest London restaurants, hunts down the future food heroes, hits up a few chefs about to launch their next big thing, and throws a festival celebrating it all, in Regent's Park London. Alongside the established restaurants that remain for the whole festival, a line-up of Daily Specials gives the chance to sample some of the city’s tastiest new concepts, popping up for one or two days only.
This year we will also be including a visit to a London University where you can meet the team and tour their catering and retails sites.
Who is this for?
For chefs, catering staff and anyone looking for new menu ideas.
Academy Credits?
If you have Academy credits, you can use these VAT free to 'pay' for your study tour in full (or if you don't have enough credits you can use them as partial payment). Just select Academy Credits in the booking form to the right of the page!
Why should I take part?
Tastings sans your senses, cocktails that communicate with your brainwaves, whisky vending machines, desserts with insect sprinkles, it’s safe to say they’ve done it all at Taste over the years. It’s time to take a leap and embrace the future of flavour, if you haven’t tried it yet, you will at Taste. Arrive hungry.
