We specialise in communications and PR for hospitality and travel brands, businesses, people and products - from chefs to bars, hotels to cookbooks. We provide a refreshing take on comms and PR strategies out of our London and Scotland offices, and we also offer full content creation services for social media via our sister agency, Tonic Studio.
With over 20 years’ experience representing the best in the business, Tonic knows hospitality PR inside out - it’s undoubtedly the backbone of our work at the agency. We look for clients who are ambitious and the best in their respective fields - be that Michelin-starred restaurants, wine bars, pop-ups or national groups.
With clients throughout the UK, and offices in London and Scotland, we’re always looking beyond our immediate vicinity, and we know how to promote destinations and build hospitality brands beyond neighbourhoods. From pubs with rooms, rural boltholes and spas to international hotel groups, we work with a range of venues in an array of locations and know what and how to pitch to generate cut through in a busy market.
For hospitality businesses in Scotland looking for national acclaim, we are uniquely positioned to support you. Our Scottish clients get a hands-on, fully immersed team who also have a black book of national critics and journalists earned from representing the best restaurants and chefs in London and beyond.

We’re proud to have a team who possess the most brilliant communication skills, and who enjoy being fully immersed in the restaurant industry through their work.
The Tonic Pay It Forward campaign was set up in direct response to the growing levels of hunger and food insecurity in the UK.
It's in such juxtaposition to the abundant hospitality scene we are fortunately immersed in, and at Tonic we are compelled to try and make a positive change.
An intrinsic part of our work is to book in media and influencers to experience brilliant meals at our clients’ venues, on the house, and we’re very often fortunate enough to enjoy this hospitality ourselves.
Over four years in and we're proud to have raised and donated £24,000 to our chosen charities (including The Trussell Trust, Magic Breakfast, Made In Hackney, Carib Eats, The Soup Kitchen, E5 Baby Bank, the Edinburgh Food Project, Bake For Ukraine and Empty Kitchens, Full Hearts).
The Tonic Pay It Forward format is simple: every complimentary meal given-to or facilitated-by Tonic since 22 October 2020 has been matched by donating a meal to someone hungry, and we pledge that it will forever remain an integral part of our business. From 2025 onwards, this donation became a % of the profits of the agency. We have huge ambitions for this - we want to raise as much money as possible and to connect the disparate food experiences in London, Edinburgh, Ukraine and beyond.
