Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Eat With A Local After Dragons’ Den?
Eat With A Local appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 2. The business was a local house-cooking meet-up website. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2025.
The Pitch
Vicki Edmunds walked into the Den in 2012 with a local house-cooking meet-up website. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 15% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Vicki Edmunds left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Eat With A Local did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2025, some 13 years after the pitch.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Eat With A Local Still in Business?
No. Eat With A Local is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
