Editorial Policy

FEAST Online is an independent UK food and drink publication. This page explains how we work: how we choose stories, where our information comes from, how we handle corrections, and what our relationships with brands and PR teams do and do not mean for what you read.

Editorial independence

Editorial decisions at FEAST are made by our team alone. Coverage is never guaranteed in exchange for advertising, hospitality, product samples or a press release. What we publish is decided on whether it is genuinely interesting and useful to our readers, nothing else.

Sourcing and accuracy

We work from primary sources wherever possible and credit them. When a story starts from a press release, we rewrite it into an original piece with our own angle and reporting; we do not republish press releases word for word. We check names, dates, locations and claims before publishing, and we do not invent figures or quotes.

Press releases, samples and hospitality

Like most food and drink titles, we receive press releases, product samples and invitations to openings and tastings. These can inform our coverage, but accepting one never guarantees a mention or a positive write-up, and we say so when a sample or invitation is directly relevant to a piece.

Advertising and partnerships

Advertising and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial, by our commercial team at advertise@feastmagazine.org. Where sponsored or paid content appears, it is clearly labelled as such and kept distinct from our editorial coverage.

Corrections

We correct mistakes promptly and openly. If you spot an error, email editor@feastmagazine.org with a link to the article and the correction, and we will review it.

Who writes FEAST

FEAST stories are written and edited by our editorial desks, the News Desk, the Food Desk and the Drinks Desk, alongside named contributors. You can read more about the people behind FEAST on our Our Team page.
