About this Event
The foodies’ breakfast
Joining us at our November breakfast is Kanthi Thamma, otherwise known as the Travelling Chef.
You certainly can’t argue with his nickname. Born and raised in India, he obtained a diploma in Switzerland before working as a chef at Walt Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line.
When he moved to the UK in 2007, he was immediately disappointed by the food being served in Indian restaurants.
Even after opening the late lamented Curry Leaf Café here in 2014, he didn’t pack away his passport. He launched The Spice Circuit, cooking South Indian dishes in countries like Sweden which were less familiar with the cuisine, and he also hosts food tours.
Closer to home, he’s the man behind Easy Tiger in Upper North Street, and he co-founded the much-lauded Palmito. His latest venture is The Spice Circuit Kitchen in Portland Road,
At breakfast, he’ll be talking about his success, how he decides what to do next – and his view on the Brighton hospitality sector. We hope to see you there!
The Chamber’s monthly Breakfast at Bill’s is very popular, so you’ll need to book early.
50 to 80 business people from Brighton and the surrounding areas come together to meet, eat and network on the fourth Friday of each month*.
There is a wide range of people who attend from all sectors and all sizes. From sole traders and start-ups to some of the biggest businesses in the city.
Each month there is a guest speaker, who'll talk about their own experiences of running a business and their own personal journey.
What you can expect:
- Make new connections through informal networking.
- Hear from a brilliant speaker, who'll talk us through their personal and business story, the highs, and the lows.
- Enjoy breakfast with like-minded people.
- No need to pitch, as we can make an introduction if there’s someone you’d like to meet.
- Find new local customers and suppliers.
