HRC is a perfect opportunity for me to meet multiple suppliers for both equipment and food/drink, look at new products and developments in the marketplace, and take the chance to catch up with current suppliers, potential new suppliers and colleagues across the industry.

Paul Taylor, Executive Chef

Attending HRC was incredibly valuable - I gained fresh insights from fantastic professionals, connected with top-tier vendors, and rekindled relationships with former colleagues. Overall, it was an enriching experience that left me motivated and well-equipped for future challenges. Looking forward to 2026!

The breadth of visitors and scale of Food Drink & Hospitality Week is unique and makes it a great event for reaching out across both hospitality and retail markets. Because of this, we are look at the event as an ideal place for showcasing the UK pizza industry in 2026.

Jim Winship, Director

Pizza, Pasta & Italian Food Association

It was brilliant taking part in the Food, Drink & Hospitality Week in London. I really enjoyed walking around the show and seeing passionate people showcasing some outstanding produce and products. Seeing so much emphasis on Scotland made me very proud. Great work.

Tom Kitchin, Chef

The Kitchin

I was really impressed how the show managed to cover so many sectors within the food and drink hospitality sector and combine them all under one roof. As a former hotel owner, an executive chef in the restaurant industry, and now an operations manager in food manufacturing, I had the opportunity to cover the entire floor space today. I engaged with both new and long time suppliers, strengthening relationships and exploring potential collaborations.

Brendan Gough, Operations Manager

All the hospitality inspiration you can get, all under one roof. Well organised and easy to navigate. Will definitely be making the yearly trip!
