Look for Bold Bean Co on AmazonFull story →Amelia Christie-Miller pitched a line of cooked, seasoned beans, chickpeas and butter beans sold under the Queen name, arguing a kitchen staple could be sold as a genuinely premium product rather than a commodity.
She asked for £50,000 against 7.5%, and Deborah Meaden backed the deal after sampling the range live in the Den.
Winning the room by taste rather than the pitch deck
Putting a bold price tag on what is, technically, a tinned goods product reflects the core of the founder's argument: that flavour-led beans deserve to be judged on taste rather than lumped in with commodity pricing.
Meaden's history backing carefully run food brands makes her a fitting match here, and winning over a room through an actual taste test tends to be a genuine signal for a food product's real commercial potential.
What later coverage claims
Sources describe the brand becoming a name people recognise within what UK food writers have dubbed a wider premium tinned bean trend, with continued stocking through independent grocers and specialist food shops.
A premium tinned bean brand lives or dies on whether independent grocers keep reordering, since a shopper who trades up from a supermarket own label has to keep choosing to do it.
