About Us

Food NI provides a single promotional voice for Northern Ireland’s food and drink. We work to enhance the reputation of Northern Ireland’s food and drink through the Taste of Ulster and Our Food So Good messages. We are a company limited by guarantee, formed voluntarily by a consortium of food sector representatives, to develop a positive identity for high quality food from Northern Ireland. Our Board consists of representatives from across the entire supply chain. Our aims are:

To enhance the reputation of food and drink from Northern Ireland
To deliver a positive message to support the industry
To link all elements of the food supply chain

Our Taste of Ulster members showcase the finest food and drink from Northern Ireland. We promote the people who produce it and those who serve it in our cafes, restaurants, bars and hotels. We know we have world-class ingredients and chefs. We secured Best Food Destination at the International Travel and Tourism Awards at World Travel Market.

Marketing Activity

Food NI brings the food to the people at events such as Farmhouse Breakfast Week and Balmoral Show NI Food Pavilion, Flavours of the Foyle and LegenDerry Food Festival. We also make it easy for you to find local produce in restaurants through our Taste of Ulster Guide.
