Food-centric experiences that bring brands to life

From product launch events and PR activations to immersive dining experiences and sensory brand installations, Feast + Fable transforms brand stories into something guests can taste, explore and step inside.

We're nice, get in touch

Not a classic experiential agency.

Not a caterer.

Experiences designed to be remembered

Truly memorable experiences - the kind that audiences talk about, capture and share - require something more.

We call this - Edible Engagement.

Edible Engagement is the art of using food as a brand storytelling medium - combining world-building, performance and multi-sensory design to create experiences that guests don't just attend, they inhabit.

Our Approach

We use the sense of contentment and togetherness, which food creates as the driving force behind our narratives and experiences.

What happens when superhero storytelling meets the creator economy?

Last week, with @disneyplus and hosted by chef and food content creator @tylerbutt_eats , we translated Daredevil: Born Again S2 into a culinary narrative, tailor made for creators.

The concept, devised with @premier.creative, was to create a world full of contrast.
Good vs evil.
Street vs penthouse.
Daredevil vs Kingpin.

Told in three acts - Josie’s Bar, Street meets Penthouse, King Pin’s World - guests moved through the unfolding story, experiencing it from the inside.

Each dish and drink was designed to reveal a different side of the New York as lived in by the lead characters and show how the two worlds collide to create story-full friction and tension.

A luxurious Lobster-Dog, delivered in a branded street food box.
A street dish of pastrami beef w/ pickles, reimagined as fine dining.
A smash-able dessert, topped with a golden nugget.

Our friends Mix and Match Ltd worked their magic with the drinks - my favourite being a delicious Barolo served in bespoke beer bottles.

With short timelines, quick turnaround, oozing capture-able content moments, and many happy faces in the room, this was a great brief to be part of.

A couple of weeks ago we built a stage for a conversation about women in leadership, for @puig_official

In amongst the gems of stories and advice from the panel, briliantly led by @junesarpo OBE, were two take aways that I woke up thinking about this morning.

ONE. BE NOISY

For years, many of us have been told that good work speaks for itself. I have long believed this. But yesterday’s message was the opposite.

Be louder.

Not louder in volume (although do just say what you want to say), but in visibility.
Talk about what you’re doing. Share your ideas. Put your hand up for things that feel slightly beyond you.

And don’t worry that you’ll be seen as emotional, brash, confrontational. Because it’s likely you just hold passion for your subject.

TWO. CAREER SPONSORSHIP

Don’t just look for mentors - look for sponsors.

Usually placed within your company or organisation, sponsors use their influence to open doors for you when you’re not in the room.

It made me think about how careers actually move forward - not just through talent and hard work (which matter enormously), but through networks, advocacy and people who actively back you.

We were there supporting Puig’s Women in Leadership conference with Feast & Fable, helping shape the environment for those conversations. But I left feeling like I’d taken part in one.

So here’s a small challenge I took away from the day:

Be much, much louder about your work.
And be the person who sponsors someone else.

Thanks to @thevinylfactory Soho to hosting.

Sushi, courage & proper pricing: A female founder story

In 2022 I was on the cusp of moving out of London.
Feast & Fable was still in a kitchen table sketch book.
And I was portfolio-careering the heck out of life.

Enter stage left: Tomono.

We’ve been friends for years. She had this beautiful concept - Tomono Sushi Party - but Covid had stalled momentum and she was ready to finally bring it to life.

So we met up. We drank a lot of coffee at London Grind and made a plan.

We mapped the offer.
We did a photoshoot (then ate a lot of sushi).
We built the website.
We repositioned her pricing (she was chronically undercharging - especially corporates - so we made it fair)
And we got clear on her superpowers.

SHE is the superpower.

When you meet Tomono, you instantly warm to her. She radiates generosity. She genuinely loves what she does. And she spreads the joy of making delicious sushi like it’s a public service.

Fast forward to now? She’s flying.

Hosting masterclasses and parties across London and the Home Counties.
She’s collaborated with me on experiences for TikTok and Google and delivered a secret matcha ritual moment inside an immersive Pokémon world.

All self-powered.
Self-funded.
Self-delivered.

And honestly, the success couldn’t belong to a more wonderful human.

So - if anyone in my network is looking for a dreamy, joyful, hands-on experience to bring some lift to your company, event or even your own kitchen table…

Give Tomono a bell. 🍣✨

You won’t regret it.

@hestonblumenthalobe ‘s iconic meat fruit has left an indelible mark on the culinary world. His dish is a masterful study in contrasts. The rich, creamy parfait, the zesty mandarin gel, and the crunchy brioche toasts all work in harmony.

I feel lucky to have made the parfait in the Fat Duck kitchen almost 20 years ago. Since then, I've revisited this dish in many guises. The one pictured, inspired by California oranges for a London event, incorporates cacao nibs and charcoal cracker crumb with a touch of lavender.

Thank you, Heston, for the enduring inspiration.

An (fairly) oldie for @brita.uk but still a favourite. We took over a coffee shop to deliver the back drop for a night of Brita talking about the importance of water purity for the #coffee industry.

All our courses were infused with coffee, from this soused beetroot and soured cream salad to our braised kid goat main course and deep coffee chocolate dessert.

Late last year, collaborating with @seenpresents , we stepped deep into some @netflixuk worlds to deliver food that transported you into the titles.

I got some much needed kudos at home for designing for K-Pop Demon Hunters (even though it’s now boring, apparently), but also loved crafting delicate bites for #bridgerton and pirate favourites inspired by Sanji’s kitchen in #onepiece

This all took place at the soon to be gone @14cavendish
