Causeway Coast & Glens Hospitality Network Set To Launch In The New Year

A new initiative to champion the vibrant food and drink culture of the Borough is set to debut in early 2026.

Causeway Coast & Glens Hospitality Network will bring together local producers, makers, growers, chefs, experience providers, accommodation providers, and hospitality businesses to celebrate and elevate the remarkable offerings found across the Borough.

Designed as a unifying force within the local visitor and food ecosystem, the Network will foster stronger connections between those who grow, create, host, cook and serve.

From artisan producers and independent bakers to experience providers, hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs and award-winning restaurants, it will provide a central hub where shared passion for quality and local provenance can flourish.

Free Directory Launching First

The Network’s initial launch will begin with a free, publicly accessible directory that will serve as a comprehensive showcase of the Borough’s food, drink and visitor experience talent.

Producers, accommodation providers and hospitality businesses will be encouraged to list their services, helping locals, visitors, event organisers and industry partners discover the breadth of craftsmanship, expertise and experiences available across Causeway Coast and Glens.

This directory aims to:

• Highlight the diversity of local food, drink and experience providers

• Encourage collaboration and support local sourcing

• Improve visibility for small, independent and emerging businesses

• Strengthen the Borough’s reputation as a world-class destination for food, drink and visitor experiences

A Private App for Communication and Collaboration

Alongside the public directory, each participating business will gain access to a private members’ app. This dedicated digital space will allow for real-time communication and collaboration within the Network. Through the app, businesses can:

• Share opportunities, news and insights

• Connect directly with fellow producers, chefs, accommodation providers and hospitality partners

• Seek suppliers, collaborations or cross-promotional opportunities

• Receive updates on training, events and industry support

• Build stronger and more resilient local networks and supply chains

This online community will help members stay connected, exchange ideas and support one another throughout the year.

A Celebration of Local Food and Visitor Experiences

The Causeway Coast & Glens Borough is renowned for its natural beauty. Still, its thriving food scene equally defines it, welcoming the hospitality sector and a rich collection of local experiences. The Hospitality Network aims to showcase that story by bringing people and businesses together to share knowledge, champion local flavours and strengthen the Borough’s overall visitor offering.

With the free directory and private app forming the foundation for broader initiatives, the new year marks an exciting step forward for producers, hospitality businesses, accommodation providers and experience providers across the Borough.

More details on how to join the directory and access the Network will be announced soon.
