Food & Drink is one of the most-pitched corners of the Den. Across 21 seasons, 55 food & drink businesses have made the walk down the hallway, which makes it the sixth-largest category on the show. All that volume means the dragons have seen every version of the food & drink pitch, and that raises the bar for the founders who break through.

Of those 55 pitches, 51 closed a deal on air. That is a 93% success rate, comfortably above the show-wide average of 29%. The dragons clearly like this category. The products are easy to understand, easy to demo, and easy to sell. The average food & drink check came in around £62K.

The biggest moment in the category so far was Caribbean ready meals, which landed £100,000 for 50% in Season 5. Deals that size are rare anywhere on the show. They happen when a founder shows up with real revenue, a product the competition cannot easily copy, and numbers that hold up under a grilling. The rest of the top of the list tends to share those traits, so it is worth studying if you want to understand what a winning food & drink pitch actually looks like.

Peter Jones has been the most active dragon in food & drink, taking part in 10 of the category's deals. If you were a food & drink founder, that is the dragon you would want to aim your pitch at. Dragons gravitate to the categories where their own retail relationships and operating experience pay off, and the deal history makes those preferences easy to see.

Not every food & drink pitch became a lasting business, but a good number did. We have confirmed 55 food & drink products from the Den that are still actively selling, and the standouts are listed below with direct links so you can check current pricing. These are the pitches that turned a few minutes of television into a real, ongoing business.
