Taking place 30th September – 2nd October at Olympia London, The Restaurant Show will return for 2019 with a brand-new all-encompassing culinary experience. With previous years attracting thousands of enthused visitors, this year is set to be bigger and better than ever before.
The Restaurant Show sits at the heart of the hospitality industry, having united the very best chefs, restaurateurs, sommeliers and hoteliers for the past 30 years. The three-day event promises to combine valuable insight and the latest innovations with topical debates around the industry’s newest trends and challenges.
Featuring both the Bar & Pub and Catering Equipment Expo, attendees will be offered the tools, inspiration and unique networking opportunities to help them succeed in the ever-competitive hospitality industry.
HOSPITALITY TRENDS & WORDS OF WISDOM
The show will cover mega trends influencing consumers including eating out technology, food culture and healthier eating.
Some of the industry’s most recognisable names will take to the live stage to cover thought-provoking sessions where visitors are encouraged to interact and ask the experts any burning questions. While the full line-up is yet to be revealed the programme is guaranteed to be bursting with inspiring stories, expert wisdom and the industry’s most recent – and often exclusive – MCA research.
THE LATEST & GREATEST PRODUCTS
Creativity and innovation will be at the forefront of the exhibition this year as our 350+ enthusiastic suppliers fill Olympia London with mouthwatering smells, fascinating displays, and the latest and greatest products available to the hospitality industry today.
As you explore the aisles, you will be greeted by the personal touch of each supplier offering opportunities to taste-test new food and drink trends, try out brand new equipment and technology, and uncover some of the inspiration behind the trendiest interior design available on the market today.
Last year, over 75% of visitors rated The Restaurant Show’s exhibition as ‘excellent’ for finding new products and services, with nearly half intending on placing orders with at least one of the exhibitors they met at the show.
