What Happened to Grill Stream Ltd After Dragons’ Den?

Grill Stream Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 6. The business was a grill collecting excess fat. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company went into liquidation in 2024.

The Pitch

Ian Worton and Peter Neath walked into the Den in 2009 with a grill collecting excess fat. They were asking for £120,000 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 Ian Worton and Peter Neath left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Grill Stream Ltd did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2024, some 15 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 Grill Stream Ltd Still Available?

No. Grillstream Continental Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company is in liquidation.
