Hotels * restaurants * food led pubs and bars * bed & breakfast and guest houses * sandwich and snack bars * delis * bakeries * cafes and coffee shops * tea rooms * leisure venues and sports stadia * ice cream parlours * pizzerias * education and welfare * contract caterers * retailers * breakfast outlets * bistros * quick service restaurants

"The show was very good for us and the second day was certainly successful. We had a dozen of new quality accounts confirmed including publicans and hoteliers so it's been really good for us" - Alistair Smith, Otter Brewery

"At this year's show there was a great mix of end user customers visiting, from hotels to guest houses and restaurants to larger food service operations. Early sales indications are good and we would like to attend the show again in the future." - Julian Sollom, Hildon Mineral Water
