Securing business futures
Come and join our community of food businesses, with all the potential that comes from opportunities to interact with businesses along the supply chain. Everything you need is in one place, for food innovation, presentation and production.
You can hire test kitchens, tasting rooms and meeting spaces for one-off use or go straight to moving into unit and making this your new base. Virtual tenancy / membership is another useful option.
The Centre team’s goal is to help secure the commercial futures of your food and drink concepts, so they will support you in making the most of the bespoke facilities, specialist innovation support and cluster membership.
We hear people say they wish they'd had access to a centre like this when their food business was at that critical point of expansion. Find out why for yourself.
