Coventry and Warwickshire food and drink producers
Coventry and Warwickshire is home to an abundance of high-quality produce, artisan makers and irresistible food and drink experiences.
Coventry and Warwickshire’s food and drink sector generates over £650m for the local visitor economy and the Coventry and Warwickshire Food and Drink Network aims to support this important sector, through the creation of strong local peer support networks, industry events and business support. The Coventry and Warwickshire Producers' Network (CWPN) is a local initiative, run by Warwickshire County Council and Coventry City Council supporting food and drink producers across the region. It provides a collaborative space to share challenges, explore solutions, and uncover new opportunities, with insights from a range of industry experts.
Joining the network meetings enables you to seek and offer industry specific support and collaborate with other producers. Sector specific news and opportunities are also emailed to those in the network. All networking meetings run from 9.30am for a 10am start and places are limited, so booking is essential.
The last event for 2025 took place in October at Dhillon’s Brewery in Coventry with the theme of a ‘Hospitality Hook Up’. The morning brought together food and drink producers with hospitality venues for networking, collaboration and discussion. Steph Kerr, Executive Director of Leamington Bid shared insights from the hugely successful Leamington Food & Drink Festival and reported on collective action around the urgent issues facing local hospitality businesses.
