In November 2018, Stelios Theocharous, the founder of Ceres | Pure Food Innovation (and someone who occasionally finds his keys on the first try), launched the Ceres Podcast. This groundbreaking platform has now become a gathering spot for like-minded co-hosts:
• Mark Petrou, Petrou Bros
• Kelly Barnes, Krispies
• David Nicolaou, Auckley Friery
• David Miller, Millers Fish & Chips
 
Together, they embark on insightful conversations with the movers and shakers of the Food & Hospitality industry, forming the illustrious Podsquad.
 
At the Ceres Podcast, we take our time. There's no rushing here - unless we're late for dinner. We're on a mission to uncover the deep-seated passions that motivate our guests, ranging from Chefs and Fish & Chip Shop Owners to Food Producers and Hoteliers, including everyone who makes the hospitality world spin.

The Podsquad is back—minus Kelly Barnes (physio duties!)—to unpack a long list of hot topics in fish & chips and hospitality:

  • The 7p fish & chip giveaway at Harry Ramsden’s: smart stunt or just chaos?
  • What makes Chez Fred such a standout (and why it’s not about location)
  • The never-ending VAT campaign—time for a reality check?
  • Why fish & chips offer more value than a Big Mac or KFC bucket
  • Are trade bodies missing the point in the media spotlight?
  • Federation representation: who’s speaking for who?
  • How great hospitality businesses still thrive
  • The value of visiting other shops (and taking your kids along!)

 

Plenty of laughs, some sharp critique, and loads of practical insights for anyone running a food business.
