In November 2018 I launched the Ceres Podcast — a place for proper conversations with the people who keep food and hospitality moving. Since then it’s grown into a bit of a team effort. I’m joined by a cracking line-up of co-hosts: • Mark Petrou (Petrou Bros) • Kelly Barnes (Krispies) • David Nicolaou (Auckley Friery) • David Miller (Millers Fish & Chips) Together we’re what I jokingly call the Podsquad — a group of people who care about the industry and aren’t afraid to talk honestly about what’s really going on. We don’t do rushed soundbites or glossy nonsense. We take our time and get into the good stuff: what drives people, what they’ve learned the hard way, and what they’d do differently if they were starting again. Guests range from chefs and fish & chip shop owners to producers, suppliers and hoteliers — basically anyone shaping the hospitality world from the ground up. If you’re in the trade, thinking about joining it, or just curious about how this industry actually works, you’ll find something here. Real stories, real experience, and the odd laugh along the way.
