Huge hospitality ‘supershow’ opens its doors this week as Casual Dining, Commercial Kitchen and lunch! return to ExCeL London on 23-24 September

21 September 2021

Three co-located shows, two unmissable days, exceptional speakers, and hundreds of innovative brands – the UK’s leading trade events for the hospitality & foodservice sector return to ExCeL London on 23-24 September 2021, for the most anticipated ‘supershow’ to date.

While the co-location allows visitors and exhibitors to benefit from seeing an even greater range of products and customers, each show will maintain separate identities and focuses, respectively. All three will offer their own free seminars and business initiatives including Innovation Challenges and lunch!’s Start Up Zone.

“We’re delighted to be back connecting suppliers and operators when they need it most. Now is the time to seek support from peers, feel inspired by thought leaders and push forward with business once again. A huge thank you to all our supporters, visitors and exhibitors for making this happen,” says Chris Brazier, group event director.

Reuniting the industry again
Despite the issues faced by the hospitality industry during the Covid pandemic, there has been overwhelming support for the three shows. Event organisers Diversified Communications, have reported ‘rapid stand sales’ and ‘new registrations’ from notable big names – which comes as a result of the industry wanting to ‘get back to business.’

“We need to get together, find innovation and support each other more than ever before! See you at Casual Dining 2021,” says Steven Mangleshot, Global Executive Chef and Brand Ambassador at wagamama.

“Commercial Kitchen is one of the key events of the year. Innovation in our industry is moving so fast that the chance to see everything in one place is not to be missed,” says Martyn Clover, Head of Food at Tortilla.

“If you’ve not put this date in your diary - DO IT. I’ve taken more innovation and inspiration away from these three shows than anything else in the past 10 years,” says Tim Foster, Yummy Pub Co.
