Food and drink trends 2027
Our latest trends reveal the cuisines, flavours, formats and ingredients influencing food and drink menus.
From functional ingredients and fermented foods to standout sharers, small plates, textural treats and global cuisines, these trends are designed to help you refresh menus, excite consumers and stay ahead of the curve.
This year, we partnered with Tastewise to track growth in menu items, menu share and social conversations shaping each trend. We also commissioned an omnibus survey with Yonder Solutions involving more than 2,000 UK consumers. These findings were supported by insights from our chefs and nutritionists, alongside desk research from additional sources.
We bring these findings to life with real-world evidence of how the trends are appearing on the high street, helping to understand them in greater depth.
