Food Glorious Food!
In preparation for our annual milestone, BBC Good Food Show Winter we headed to London to meet with the show team along with our fab clients from Stoves. More will be revealed next month, but here’s a sneak peek of what we’ve got planned. Oh, and we also found a fab new pub for informal meetings The Gilbert Scott. Check it out.
Going for gold
