Mission Market, hosted by Mission Kitchen (MK) in the Food Exchange last night, gave 200 invited guests the chance to network with a diverse array of food industry pros, taste unique products, and discover emerging brands from 40+ innovators from the MK membership.

The 5-year-old food and drink business incubator put on a flavour-filled showcase of food and drink created by innovative start-ups from within its buzzy foodie community, including trend-setting snacks and sauces, globally-inspired condiments and desserts, artisan confectionary, sustainable catering concepts and innovative foods of the future.

As a special celebration of the organisation's fifth birthday, the event also featured: 'Hall of Fame' alumni who have lived the dream, outgrown their MK roots and moved on to do incredible things; an oyster bar shucked fresh by long-standing member Rocks Oysters; and bespoke curated cocktails whipped up by another member The Juicy Brick using member products.

As well as tasting incredible food and drink, guests could join in with demos and an energetic cookie-making class with another member, Happy Crumb Bakery.

If you haven't checked out the amazing work going on at Mission Kitchen, we implore you to do so – it's one of the most important things happening on London's food scene.
