The events industry is built upon the passion and determination of independent business owners. One of the most direct ways to support Black-owned businesses in your community is to buy from them. Below we’ve highlighted 12 of the incredible Black-owned businesses we’re lucky enough to work with at Feast It and how you can support them right now. You're still able to book all of these suppliers for your future events but for now, they’ve all had to be versatile to keep their businesses running during the Covid-19 pandemic by pivoting to offer deliveries of meals and products.

Founder Fi quit her finance job in the City to create Lime Hut. The most significant part of Fi’s family life was the Sunday Caribbean dinners but as an adult, she became aware of the dietary health issues facing the Afro-Caribbean community. As Fi became more and more health-conscious, she wanted to develop a way to really enjoy healthy food and that’s where Lime Hut comes in. Lime Hut is a modern take on Caribbean food that uses traditional flavours cooked in a healthier, lighter way. Lime Hut began as a supper club and then broke into the Soho street food scene before expanding to also cater weddings and events. There’s also their incredible mentorship program that’s in its fourth year, ‘Lime Hut Helps’.

As a result, Big Apple Hot Dogs have created an [online shop](https://shop.bigapplehotdogs.com/) so you can still order their unbeatable sausages! Spreading the word of their online shop is now their main focus. Bringing BAHD sausages to your garden BBQ this summer is sure to cement you as the best BBQ host amongst your friends!

Independent street food business, Mama’s Jerk, took Mama Charlotte’s original Jerk recipe and love of good quality ingredients to create exciting Caribbean flavours in a new and modern way. Mama Charlotte’s secret recipe was developed by experimenting with the fresh ingredients grown on her own farm to put her twist on the Jamaican classic. Her Jerk Marinade recipe was so tasty it was used on just about anything and very fortunately passed down generations. 

Due to major popularity, Mama’s Jerk now has three permanent sites in Deptford, Brixton and Canary Wharf, as well as continuing their street food service at pop-ups and festivals. Not only that but the team also have a huge amount of experience in catering for offices, private events and weddings!

To sample Mama’s Jerk for yourself, you can order on Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat or buy their incredible homemade sauces via their [website](https://mamasjerk.com/products/).

Combining their British and West-Indian heritage with a love for food, Juici Jerk is spreading a new age taste of the Caribbean by offering a fresh take on this cuisine. From the taste to the experience, Juici Jerk is not your typical Caribbean food spot with their array of dishes to suit the modern diner, but without forgetting their roots. 

It all began in 2017 as a small family business operating from their home kitchen in South West London. Founded by brothers, Jarrell and Troy, they’ve chased their passion for cooking and unique dining experiences. Their phenomenal menu has an extensive range from jerk wraps, burritos, bagels, burgers and salads to so many vegetarian options, seafood dishes and sides.  Juici Jerk was named in TechRound’s Top 10 Food Start-ups to Watch in 2018 and they’re often normally serving the public at Boxpark and Mercato Metropolitano. 

Luckily, for now, you can still enjoy Juici Jerk’s food by ordering on Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat. To find out more and start salivating, click [here](https://www.juicijerk.com/).

Dookies Grill began in 2014 from Sean’s ambition to start a family-owned catering business serving unique dishes using flavours from his Caribbean roots combined with ingredients from different cultures, all accessible in London. Sean loved Caribbean food growing up and before long he was in the kitchen too. Being in London means that a lot of Dookies Grill’s food is influenced by the style of street food but they can also adapt their menu to a more formal wedding service. 

The team is currently selling Jerk BBQ [meal box kits](https://www.dookiesgrill.co.uk/jerkmealkits) to your door every week made of delicious chicken or rib combos. As if that wasn’t enough, you can also purchase Dookies Grill’s signature premium Jerk BBQ sauce from their [website](https://www.dookiesgrill.co.uk/shop). A sweet but spicy BBQ based sauce made with scotch bonnet chillies and other authentic Caribbean ingredients, this sauce can be used as a condiment or jerk glaze to chicken, fish, lamb or pork.

12 Black-owned food and drink businesses you can support right now

## A message from our Co-founders, Digby & Hugo

The brutal killing of George Floyd, the latest of many Black victims of police violence internationally, has rightly sparked global outrage and protest whilst highlighting the injustice and racism ingrained in our society today. 

This is the first statement Feast It has made in response because we collectively decided to take the time to make sure what we said was meaningful and actionable, rather than just words. As a team, we felt it was vital for us to listen before we spoke and that there were more important voices to hear than ours over the last two weeks.

We have all read countless declarations from companies and celebrities over the last couple of weeks, many of which have been powerful, but plenty which have been criticised for being stronger on content than they were on commitments to actual change. It was very important for us to invest time in educating ourselves and thinking carefully about the steps we wanted to take over the coming weeks and years before we released a statement. Over the last couple of weeks we've had internal conversations to make plans for meaningful actions we can take to make a difference. We've also been in contact with our supplier community to gather their thoughts on how we can do better. 

At Feast It, we have never and would never tolerate racism in any form. However, this period of protest and mobilisation for the Black Lives Matter movement has taught us that this is simply not enough. It's no longer enough to not be racist - we must all work to be actively anti-racist. 

To our Black community members - we stand with you. The disproportionate economic and social barriers facing Black business owners when it comes to starting and maintaining their businesses is nothing new. We want to make sure that your contribution to this brilliant industry is always celebrated and supported. Having taken this time to reflect, we feel as though we have to be better; be better at championing the Black-owned businesses in our community; be better at providing support; be better at educating our team so that we can effectively promote your business to all prospective customers. Your businesses are at the heart and soul of what we do. 

With this in mind, we are sharing the commitments we have been discussing internally as a team and the ways we believe we can begin to make changes in both the short and longer-term.  

Digby & Hugo 
*Co-founders*

## Our actions within our supplier community: 

__Support the Black-owned businesses we work with__: actively support and champion the Black-owned businesses in our community through our public content and social media channels. If you are a Black-owned business and would like to be featured, please let us know. 

__Be conscious of bias__: Ensure we never allow any unconscious bias by conducting a full audit of our sales process and technology, including our supplier-matching algorithm. 

__Fundraising__: Feast It has been fortunate enough to successfully raise funds from investors across hospitality, retail and tech and we want to help leverage this network for positive change. We will run annual fundraising workshops to try and connect Black-owned businesses with potential investors and give feedback on pitching skills.

 
## Our actions within Feast It 
We have made a start and will continue to:

__Educate ourselves__: our management team will set the precedent for self-education, ensuring we regularly seek advice and input from those more knowledgeable within our community.

__Educate our team__: we are sharing all the resources we have found educational with each other and will continue to do so. This will be shared externally in the form of a blog post and we'll also pay for copies of relevant educational material for anyone in the team. 

__Create an Anti-Racist and Inclusivity Committee__: their role will be to hold management to account. This will be a group of people within our team who will ensure we follow through on the actions we are committing to now, as well as creating a permanent culture of change within Feast It. To start, this will come in the form of regular meetings, discussion and initiatives to ensure the engagement of the whole company at every level. 

__Charity partnerships__: our office is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, so we will partner with local charities and organisations as well as national ones. We have pinpointed a couple of charities in the borough that supports underrepresented groups and are looking to establish partnerships with them.

__Be representative__: across our social media, website, and printed materials by celebrating all genders, races and ages.

 
## Our longer-term plans:

__Re-evaluate our employment process__: this includes our job advertisements - using recruitment methods to ensure a diverse range of applicants - and how we conduct the entire process post-application. While we are not currently recruiting, this is something we will do before we next hire.

__An audit of all of our internal tools__: ensure that all the businesses we use for our processes also commit to anti-racism and diversity. This could be our sales, email, marketing or data tools/programmes, to name a few. We will contact every business we work with who hasn’t already released a statement. 

__Volunteer schemes__: provide 2 days off work each year for our team to volunteer with charitable organisations. 

__Internship schemes__: the technology industry is known to be one of the least diverse industries in the UK, with Black people forming the smallest representation. A way we can change this is through access and opportunity with an internship scheme at Feast It for young Black people who want to gain experience in technology or at a start-up. 


If you have any feedback on our response or ideas for other ways we could be better, we'd love to hear them. Please email us at contact@feast-it.com.

Black Lives Matter: our commitment to action

It's no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the hospitality industry hard - most of our suppliers are currently unable to work and every day we're helping out customers who have been forced to postpone or cancel their events.

Behind the scenes, our team is working as hard as ever - albeit from our homes - to make this difficult time as smooth as possible for all parties. We're here to help however we can - matching you with incredible suppliers for events later this year and into 2021, finding new dates for postponed events and helping to make any cancellations as simple as possible.

## Your money is safe
We hold your money safely in a dedicated account with suppliers only getting paid after your event has taken place. This means that in the rare case a supplier is forced to pull out of your event, at the very least you will get your money back. Even better, we're perfectly placed to be able to find you a perfect replacement so your event can still go ahead without a hitch.


## It's easy to postpone
Our flexible terms and conditions enable you to move the date of your event with no penalty and our team are on hand to move everything over to your new date. If your original supplier isn't available, we'll even find you a perfect replacement. 


## Flexible payments
We offer unrivalled flexible payment options such as Feast It Pay, allowing you to split the payment for your event into monthly bitesize chunks. 


## We only work with the best
We handpick every single supplier we work with, guaranteeing only quality suppliers who take any government enforced measures around event safety incredibly seriously. When events are permitted again, we'll be checking in with each supplier to ensure they have all the equipment needed to keep you and your guests safe. 

If you have an enquiry with Feast It and would like a free event consultation with one of our team to talk through your options and the current developments in the event industry, you can [book one here](https://calendly.com/victoria-93/feast-it-event-consultation).

Cheeky Burger-5 (2)

With many events being cancelled in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, many of our suppliers have pivoted away from their typical service and have come up with innovative new offerings to support themselves and those in need.

Lockdown Initiatives From Our Suppliers

## The events industry.

The events industry is undoubtedly one of the hardest hit sectors as a result of the [COVID-19 outbreak](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HaUsTFrF0oPZl3lngXDsPABpx6f4auUKZD1vaSsZRzU/edit#). Right now, we all face unprecedented times and for at least the near future, a high degree of uncertainty and worry. 


![government coronavirus](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/3xQpExViAmzYJToguLyQA5/e653a95cd02c05d3aeaa8f8235d77c40/governmentcorona.jpeg)


Since the government has stepped up protocols and introduced new measures to try and contain the spread of the virus, we in the events industry have seen the cancellation of sporting events, festivals and concerts as well as the stagnation of private events all over the UK. As such, worries over finances, our health, and where to get support are prevelant. 

With no end in sight, and with the worst case scenario seeing 20% of the UK’s workplace being absent from work, this led to the government announcing a level of support equivalent to 1/6th of the UK economy - £330b. Since this announcement on the 17/03/2020, we have seen much of our Feast It supplier community and the wider events industry left confused as to what grants and loans they are entitled to and how they can obtain them. Questions surrounding help that can be received outside of government aid have also been posed frequently.


## [Find out what support you're eligible for.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HaUsTFrF0oPZl3lngXDsPABpx6f4auUKZD1vaSsZRzU/edit)

As a result we felt it was necessary to provide as much clarity as possible to help all of us make sense of this budget and to provide guidance to see us through the coming months. The information attached is recorded as of the 20/03/2020 and references information from government sources as well as bodies such as the FSB and NCASS. It will be updated as and when any relevant information is made available, however, given the abundance of updates and multiple sources, if you find any information to be false, out of date or if you are aware of something we have not mentioned, please email partners@feast-it.com so we can ensure the information we are sharing amongst our community is as accurate as it can be.

Worthy of note are also a number of petitions we have linked to in there to point people in the direction of movements specifically concerned with the self employed and mobile caterers.

In making this document, we found it difficult to come across a singular source of truth and we had varying degrees of information provided to us by the local councils we spoke to. This is truly an unprecedented time, causing huge amounts of stress and uncertainty to businesses and individuals involved.

## The best thing about working in events is... 
There’s always something happening, and each day throws something new at you. You’re literally never bored!

## My top tip for organising your event is...
Have a clear vision of what you're looking for and be flexible with the budget if possible. It just makes it a whole lot easier to organise your dream party! 
 
## My party trick is...
I’m pretty proud of this one: I can break an apple in half with my bare hands. Don’t ask, just google ‘Bob Mortimer would I lie to you apple’. 
 
## My favourite cuisine is... 
It has got to be Mexican! Tacos and tequila, need I say more...Best food in the world - so quick, delicious and fresh. 
 
## The coolest client I've booked an event for is... 
It was probably a Lord of the Rings themed wedding in a field - that was a really fun one to chat through! They wanted some very rustic style food to suit the general Middle Earth vibe and I'm happy to say that we were able to offer it! 

## My greatest culinary achievement is...
Surviving a month cheffing in the Mexican street food restaurant, Cargo Cantina in Bristol. This was an absolute whirlwind and full of weird and wonderful people. But I think I lost a few marbles along the way with those 16 hour shifts!

## My favourite Feast It suppliers are...
Foodwise, [Taco Truck](https://feast-it.com/vendors/taco-truck) - Henning’s taco and tequila parties are legendary! - and [Chubby Dumpling](https://feast-it.com/vendors/chubby-dumpling), whose father-daughter run business is just adorable. I’ve got to have [Hannah Anderson](https://feast-it.com/vendors/hannah-anderson) in there as my top photographer: she is so talented, and can do such a range of different styles, from elegant wedding pics to incredible drone footage.

## The best thing about working in events is... 
The people you work with, everyone is excited to create the most memorable events for all parties involved (pardon the pun!). 

## My top tip for organising your event is...
Fail to plan plan to fail, ie preparation is key! Your event might seem like a lifetime away, but suppliers get booked up months if not years in advance, so if you want the perfect event, start planning and booking early!
 
## My party trick is...
 I have been known to crack out the worm, it never fails to impress! 
 
## My favourite cuisine is... 
I like to think of myself as a bit of a Fish & Chips connoisseur, I’ve tried most establishments in London, Kent and Bristol, and am yet to find the perfect chip, but Fish Lounge in Brixton came awfully close to that sacred 10/10.
 
## The coolest client I've booked an event for is... 
 I booked an office party for Facebook last summer and both the suppliers and clients were super happy with the outcome, success!
 
## My greatest culinary achievement is...
When I cooked a Thai Green Curry for a 30 guest dinner party. I’ve never taken such care and consideration when cooking Basmati rice, I am now a master at it.

 
## I embarass myself at parties by... 
I’ll be the first on the microphone if there’s a chance to do some karaoke. I think I’m the only one who enjoys it but I can’t half belt out FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna.
 
## My favourite Feast It suppliers are...
 [Knowing Meat Knowing You](https://feast-it.com/vendors/knowing-meat-knowing-you), [Hop Stuff Brewery](https://feast-it.com/vendors/hop-stuff-brewery) & [Papi Churro](https://feast-it.com/vendors/papi-churro) - I’d have them all at my party in a shot. And I'd have [Steven Morris](https://feast-it.com/vendors/steven-morris-photography) to capture it all!

## Meet our lovely Event Pro, Mia, who has cooked alongside Masterchef finalists!

![Feast-It-Headshots-B-BG--21](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/3mcVMt75Dl9DV66jSa17tP/ad1d3520ef452150790d88feff88720d/Feast-It-Headshots-B-BG--21.jpg)


## The best thing about working in events is... 
Working with the suppliers we work with on a daily basis. Their passion, hard work and ‘up-for-anything’ attitude never goes unnoticed or unappreciated. What we see at events is only the half of it - there is an insane amount of love and creativity that goes into creating the food, drink and services that these guys offer, so it’s a pleasure chatting with them, knowing how much each event means to them and their businesses.

## My top tip for organising your event is...
Go with your gut. Literally and metaphorically. 
 
## My party trick is...
 I can sing the first few verses of ‘Despacito’ in Spanish, very impressive for when it comes on twice a year...
 
## My favourite cuisine is... 
Middle Eastern, without a doubt. The incredible flavours, simple ingredients and passion that goes into making the food is what makes it for me, that and the culture that surrounds it - sitting with friends and family with a mountain of hot, fresh pittas, velvet-smooth hummus and freshly fried falafel, is my happy place. 
 
## My greatest culinary achievement is...
Cooking for a Burns Night themed lunch at Conde Nast with two Masterchef finalists. Major imposter syndrome.
 
## I embarass myself at parties by... 
Picking up small bits of cardboard off the floor without using my hands...in a game fondly known as The Cereal Box game. It’s a thing, I promise. Best not to ask too many questions.
 
## My favourite Feast It suppliers are...
[Cue Point](https://feast-it.com/vendors/cue-point) - for Middle Eastern food like you’ve never had it before, [Laura Maclean](https://feast-it.com/vendors/laura-maclean-photography) - for the most stunning photos, Mix & Muddle (for some serious cocktails) and [Humble Crumble](https://feast-it.com/vendors/humble-crumble-london) (for the best darn crumble you’ll ever have).

## Meet our lovely Event Pro, Jaya, who knows it's never too early to start organising!

![Feast-It-Headshots-B-BG--15](//images.ctfassets.net/91pq7vxbip7x/236OEQBmwwUU84gJWmTWOU/f62e1121a97198e8785aebd385e1e0ed/Feast-It-Headshots-B-BG--15.jpg)


## The best thing about working in events is... 
Definitely the huge range of clients and brands we get to work with. No two events are the same, which means every day (and even every call!) is different. Working with clients to understand exactly what they're looking for from their suppliers and then finding their perfect match is always great fun. Oh, and we often have food and drink suppliers into the office for us to sample their offerings - that's a definite added perk!


## My top tip for organising your event is...
Get organised and start booking early! Our top suppliers get booked up way in advance - for summer months, they can be booked up to 12 months ahead.  It's really disappointing when a client leaves it too late and their first preference is unavailable! It's definitely better to be organised way ahead of time so you have the pick of the bunch! 
 
## My favourite cuisine is... 
Really hard to choose! I change my mind on a daily basis, depending on what I feel like. If I had to choose one, I’d probably have to say Japanese. 
 
## The coolest client I've booked an event for is...
Movember, Sweaty Betty and Boohoo.com were all great to work with and really interesting events! 

## My greatest culinary achievement is...
Cooking breakfast to order for a chalet of 24 people,including poached eggs!
 
## My favourite Feast It suppliers are...
[Tonbo Japanese Kitchen](https://feast-it.com/vendors/tonbo-japanese-kitchen) - their Poke bowls are the absolute best! [Thaiangle](https://feast-it.com/vendors/thaiangle) for some Pad Thai. [Chip Off The Block](https://feast-it.com/vendors/chip-off-the-block) for the best cheesy chips in the biz and [Cocktailmaker](https://feast-it.com/vendors/cocktailmaker?name=cocktailmaker) for a cheeky Espresso Martini!
