What is a Food & Drink influencer?
A Food & Drink influencer is a creator who posts about food and drink, from restaurant reviews and new openings to recipes and dish recommendations on Instagram or TikTok. They range from a few thousand local followers to national reach, and brands work with them to get in front of people in Middlesbrough who already care about food & drink.
How We Rank These Creators
We look at three things: recent content quality, reach, and how much of a creator's content is actually about food & drink. The "Food & Drink" figure is the share of their recent posts that met both.

Social is where people pick where to eat now. 58% of TikTok users have visited a restaurant after seeing it on the app, and 91% of UK hospitality brands already work with creators. You also get a stream of real content about your venue, which is the bit most teams struggle to keep up with.
See the stats, with sourcesHow much do Middlesbrough Food & Drink influencers charge? +
Plenty of smaller creators work on a gifted basis, so a meal or an experience in exchange for content.

Joli can provide rate cards for paid collaborations, based on a creator's following and typical rates in hospitality.
