Studio Lates

We invite guest speakers within our network to share their knowledge and showcase their unique talents. It is a series of educational (but fun!) talks, with a focus on topics across the food and drink world.

For every session, the Mr Lyan Studio creative team creates bespoke snacks and drinks (including at least one non-alcoholic option), inspired by the speaker.

Events are held in the intimate setting of our basement bar at Mr Lyan Studio HQ, and in collaboration with Fever-Tree.

Our Podcast

This year we decided to record our events, brought on award-winning podcast producer Lucy Dearlove, and partnered with Fever-Tree to bring five episodes out into the world!

Available on all your favourite podcast platforms: Studio Lates: conversations around flavour and innovation in food & drink.

We have traversed the world of wine, cider, salt and vinegar, ideas around terroir, authenticity, and of course what makes deliciousness.
