The UK’s Best Trade Show 2011 & 2010!

lunch! is a special kind of show.  A show where the customer experience comes first and which exhibitors and buyers actually look forward to!  No wonder more and more people want to be part of it, with the number of trade buyers up by a hugely impressive 41%, on top of a 24% increase the previous year.  No other trade show can boast such increases. 

But it is the visitor quality rather than the numbers at lunch! which really impress.  This is where the industry comes together to do business with such resoundingly positive results.  The aisles are packed with a ‘who’s who’ from the major food-to-go chains, supermarkets, contract caterers, quality independents, delis, airlines, attractions, wholesalers and distributors from right across the UK and overseas.
