This passion means we pride ourselves on giving you the best choice of products in the market, across food, drink and catering supplies, so that you can serve your customers delicious and nutritious food and drinks they'll love.

Food and drink trends

Every year we hunt down the hottest trends that will be driving consumer choices and shaping the food and drink out of home market to help you stay ahead of the game.

We worked with the key food and insights agencies, conduct our own exclusive research with UK consumers each year, backed up with extensive desk and on-the street research to keep our finger on the pulse so that you can plan your menus.

Read about the latest food and drink trends that will be shaping menus in 2024 here.

You’ll find recipes, product suggestions along with ideas about how to implement each of the trends in our interactive guide so that you can really hit the mark with your customers.
