Who's running the show?

BITE Sussex spun out of the original Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival so this ain't our first rodeo!

Over many years we've championed the city and surrounding county's food, drink, hospitality and tourism sectors regionally, nationally and internationally with events ranging from huge festivals on Hove Lawns and Sussex Wine Bus Tours to Regency Banquets at the Royal Pavilion and the International Chef Exchange taking talented local chefs to collaborations across the globe including Canada and the Caribbean.
