Bringing PRs and the UK's food journalists together for a day of insightful discussions and networking
Food Club is three interactive sessions with leading food journalists. The talks will cover the the crossover between health and food stories, the stories editors are looking to publish, from personal food narratives to chef interviews and trend pieces.
Roxhill’s Food Club will give you the opportunity to speak to journalists who are difficult to contact, and drill down into the details of exactly the kind of stories that excite them. We’ll also discuss when, what, and how to pitch.
We’re gathering three food editors and writers working across some of the UK’s top-ranking titles, including national newspapers The Times, Good Food, Olive, Broadsheet, Foodism & HTSI.
