THE PEOPLE VS BIG FOOD

On 22nd October 2025 as part of Cookery School at Little Portland Street’s Fight Fake Food Campaign, a panel of experts laid out their concerns, shared insights and offered hope for the future.

This wasn’t another evening of talking heads. It was an interactive event, as together with fellow participants, the audience broke out into groups to share knowledge, spark solutions, and develop a shared action plan to challenge the status quo.
