Road to restaurant, and restaurant to road, with NCASS
Delivered in partnership with NCASS (Nationwide Caterers Association), this practical panel breaks down the realities of moving between street food and bricks-and-mortar hospitality, and what operators need to get right at each stage. Moderated by Henry Poultney of Grace + James, the session brings together Adam Johnson (The Plough / Deathrow Sandwiches), David Wolanski (Chick ‘N’ Sours), and Rob Machin (Reimagine) to share hands-on guidance drawn from real experience. The discussion will cover the practicalities of scaling up from street food to a restaurant, costs, financing, sites, staffing, menus, and compliance, as well as why some established restaurants return to street trading to test concepts, manage risk, and reach new audiences.
