About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

For 40 of Newham’s 60 years Wenty’s Tropical Food has been at the heart of the evolving community making Newham a borough like no other and celebrating Newham’s wealth across the UK. Its founder, Wentworth Newland's intercultural work in the community and entrepreneurial spirit, is a testament to the borough and its welcoming attitude.

Join us to learn more about the history of Wenty's Tropical Food and its impact, past and present, on Newham's food culture and local communities.

The Wenty’s team will provide us with a taster of the flavourful food and produce their shop has brought to Upton Lane.
