The Instagram Accounts You Need to Know When Planning Your Food and Drink Event

Instagram has been fuelling foodies since it launched. From bloggers to chefs and magazines to restaurants, the visual platform has quickly established itself as the go-to place for images of ingredients and delicious dishes.

The visual platform has 334,552,637 posts tagged #food and 195,175,171 posts tagged #foodporn(both at last count!) – proof that people are always searching for their next great meal. To get a sense of what’s trending, we have compiled a list of accounts, split across 4 key categories:

• Green credentials: people with a sustainable, vegan or zero-waste approach. Their feed is informed by environmental concerns and/or social responsibility.
• Stylish shots: accounts that showcase brilliant food photography
• Influencer: includes bloggers, food writers and cookbook compilers. Essentially the people who commentate on the industry.
• Superstar chef: the people behind the stoves who have built up a cult following. They are the brains behind some of the best restaurants and food stalls around.

Just enter your details to download our curated list – you may even find an influencer or a potential partner that you want to approach to help promote your next foodie event.

Note: Our 38 food and drink Instagrammers are based in the UK and Ireland, and while most have high follower numbers, they have been selected based on criteria such as the unique insight and influence they have on the industry, their stand-out shots and on-trend tastes.
