Foraging with Dalebrook: A Culinary Adventure through London’s Hidden Gems

At Dalebrook, we believe innovation starts with inspiration, and there’s no better place to find it than in the kitchens of passionate chefs across the globe. That’s why we were thrilled to host a bespoke Foraging with Dalebrook event in the heart of London, in collaboration with team members from Compass Group UK.

Over the course of a dynamic day, we explored 10 unique culinary stops, sampling flavours from Sri Lanka, Korea, Thailand, the Caribbean, Italy, and more, alongside cutting-edge vegan and salad concepts. From tucked-away eateries to bold new food start-ups, each stop offered a fresh take on what’s next in food presentation and flavour innovation.

A highlight? The ultimate gourmet doughnuts from Donutelier prove that even indulgence has a creative edge.

This wasn’t just about tasting—it was a hands-on research and networking event designed to:

• Inspire our contract catering partners with real-world ideas
• Explore how Dalebrook’s food display solutions can elevate diverse cuisines
• Spark fresh thinking in menu development and presentation

If you’re a caterer, contract caterer, or foodservice operator, consider your own Foraging with Dalebrook tour. We’ll curate a bespoke route aligned with your goals—whether you're after plant-based innovation, international cuisine ideas, or ways to rethink traditional British fare.

Get in touch to arrange your inspiration day. Let’s explore, learn, and innovate—together.
