"The UK Food and Drink Shows are the best place in the UK to learn about new products coming to market. The size of it is huge so you can spend a whole day or several days looking around all the different producers, suppliers, technology-based businesses, and anything that can help run your business in a better way."

~ Emma Mosey, Co-Owner of Yolk Farm

"At Farm Shop & Deli Show, it's not a consistent array of the same producers and suppliers. There's always something new, so it's a great opportunity under one roof to find those new kind of nuggets and bits of inspiration that will delight your customers."

~ Nick Slinfield, Co-Founder of Teals

"Farm Shop and Deli Show is a great opportunity for farm shops and delis to come along and just see what's happening, what's exciting, what's new. I think it's great to take that time out, to have a look and see what's going on in the market and how they could be expanding their ranges and doing something a little bit new and different for their customers."

~ Helen Wallace, Senior Buyer at The Cress Company

"Having everything under one roof is incredibly important for us. It's really efficient for us as a retailer to go to the four shows to meet loads of new people and have lots of interesting conversations. The biggest benefit of attending The UK Food & Drink Shows has to be the sheer abundance of great tasting food and drink products all under one roof."

~ John Gill, Head of Trading & Supply, Booths

"The UK Food and Drink Shows are probably one of the very few occasions where you get a whole mix of farm shop suppliers who can be very small and incredibly creative, to some of the bigger suppliers who have high quality premium products. You then bolt on all the exciting things happening in other categories at the other shows. You've got this amazing mix of ideas happening all at once."

~ Matt Whelan, MD, Fiedlfare

"It's a great event because it's an opportunity for both retailers and manufacturers, and food businesses all to come together. There’s not many occasions like this that you have this many organisations that will all be in one place. It’s also great to see the innovation that's coming out and to see the talks as well. It's a real eclectic mix."
