Queer Food

Who we are

Queer Food launched its first retail product online in November 2023 with a simple idea, to tell LGBTQIA+ stories through food. Our first product, a dukkah made in collaboration with Shawnah Cady (aka MadB) for their wedding, has since expanded into a national retail range. Every item we create is rooted in storytelling, inspired by LGBTQIA+ history or developed in collaboration with community icons, shaping everything in our product range.

Along the way, we ventured into catering, but soon realised our true passion was in crafting meaningful retail products, focusing on fewer things, and doing them with greater care and purpose.

Throughout our journey, we’ve remained committed to creating employment opportunities for queer and trans people and reinvesting a portion of our revenue into initiatives that support and uplift our communities. Today, Queer Food continues to use food as a platform for visibility, pride, and connection, proving that every bite can be an act of cultural change.

What we do

We don’t just feed people. We exist to shift culture.

Our impact

We create our products to celebrate identity, resilience, and community. Through our work, we provide meaningful employment for queer and trans people and donate money back to an impact fund to give back to LGBTQIA+ communities.

Employment

We provide safe, affirming jobs and hands-on training for LGBTQIA+ people, creating pathways to thrive, not just survive, in the workplace.

Queer Food Impact Fund

The Queer Food Impact Fund was created to improve access to gender-affirming care for trans and gender-diverse people. We currently donate 1% of our trading revenue and are working towards contributing 50% of our profits.
