The Original Black Garlic at Taste of London 2025

Last week, The Original Black Garlic team headed to Regent’s Park for one of the biggest highlights in the foodie calendar – Taste of London 2025. The sun was out and so was, what felt like, half of London.

The atmosphere was buzzing, full of colour, laughter, clinking glasses, and the smell of incredible food.  

We spent the day meeting fellow foodies, tasting unforgettable dishes, and discovering some brilliant new brands. Of course, we couldn’t resist treating ourselves to a few exciting new products to take home too.  

The Taste Fire Pit was one of the show’s biggest draws, and it didn’t disappoint. We watched sizzling open-fire cooking demos from big names such as Judy Joo, Elizabeth Haigh, and Mursal Saiq and came away totally inspired. 

We’d love to see some black garlic action on the Fire Pit stage next year. It’s made for umami-packed marinades and smoky glazes! 

It was fantastic to meet so many people who already knew and loved The Original Black Garlic.  One person we met said “This is one of those products that’s about to go BIG.” We couldn’t agree more. 

Taste of London gave us the perfect chance to spread the word and chat with curious chefs, producers and home cooks who are ready to take their flavours to the next level. 

As always, we were on the lookout for fresh food trends and potential new partners, and one thing was clear: 2025 is the year of hot sauce. We were blown away by the bold flavours from the likes of Boom Sauce, Big Ginger Sauce Co., and Crazy Bastard Sauce. Safe to say, we’ve got some spicy ideas simmering... 

The range of restaurants at the festival was amazing, from street food favourites to Michelin-level bites.  We did our best to speak to as many of you as possible, but with the buzz of the day, we may have missed a few.

We had a fantastic time soaking up the flavours, the energy, and the creativity at Taste of London 2025. Will we be back next year? Definitely.
