The Sweet Beet, producer of hand-crafted condiments and sauces born in Texas and produced in Newcastle, is stepping into the national spotlight for the first time this September at the Speciality and Fine Food Fair 2017. Having built a strong reputation in the North East in the last 18 months through tie-ins with Fenwick and many of the region’s biggest food suppliers, festivals and markets, founder Lizzy Hodcroft is taking the range to the UK’s leading trade showcase of fine food and drink at Olympia London, September 3-5.
“The Sweet Beet was born out of love for food from my hometown in Texas and not being able to find it in the UK. I grew up eating enchiladas, barbeque and good old homecooking and The Sweet Beet is all about sharing those flavours and ideas,” says Lizzy. www.thesweetbeetuk.co.uk
