IT'S AN INDUSTRY EVENT... DESIGNED AS A FOOD FESTIVAL.

"Despite London being gridlocked, Speciality & Fine Food Fair definitely wasn't. The place was buzzing with energy, and everyone was clearly keen to do business. It was a fantastic and productive day which shows the resilience of the industry."

"Speciality Fine Food Fair is always one of the highlights of the year for us as a Farm Shop and Café. We make the 300-mile round trip every year and always come back with new products and suppliers. We also benefit from catching up in person with existing suppliers. Further, it gives us time away from the daily tasks to bond as a team, and it falls perfectly after the peak summer trade and before the Christmas mayhem begins. A fabulous event all-round."
OLIVER STUBBINS - GENERAL MANAGER
WELBECK FARM SHOP AND HARLEY CAFE

"We always look forward to attending Speciality & Fine Food Fair every year. It’s great to meet up with existing suppliers to see what’s new and to understand what’s happening in the market place. It’s also important to find a few new suppliers to help keep our product range up to date with current trends if we want to keep winning best farm shop in the UK!"

"Speciality & Fine Food Fair 2025 lived up to expectations. It is one of my favourite events as it brings together the best food from the UK and around the world. This collection of producers allows the independent food retailers to find products that will enable them to offer their customers something different from the retail chains. It remains an important event for this vibrant retail sector."
