  • Want some inspiration about what's hot and what's not? Then visit Speciality & Fine Food Fair 2008

Food lovers from all over the UK will be gathering at London’s Olympia Exhibition Centre from 7th to 9th September 2008 for the Speciality & Fine Food Fair, a key event for anyone offering premium food and drink.

Returning for its eighth successful year, the show - which is free to attend - offers visitors an unrivalled sourcing experience with the opportunity to discover many new products, meet with new suppliers and benefit from practical business advice and creative ideas through the Fine Food and Small Business Forums.

Attracting independent retailers, food hall buyers and food service operatives, this year visitors will be able to sample the wares of 700 producers, of which 100 are first time exhibitors looking to showcase their produce to an eager audience of foodies.

A wonderful array of products will be available to see, touch, taste, smell and compare including speciality meats, fine wines, temptingly different cheeses, innovative condiments and luxury bakery goods. The combination of producers who use traditional methods and the highest quality ingredients alongside those supplying highly innovative new products, give the show a truly remarkable appeal.

The 2008 show also sees the launch of the Speciality Chocolate Fair, an exciting new section dedicated to manufacturers, transformers and chocolatiers to meet increasing visitor demand for sourcing artisan chocolate. Whether you’re a pastry chef, deli owner or food hall buyer, there will be lots to learn, inspire and sample.

Paul MacDonald, event director, enthuses, “The Speciality & Fine Food Fair continues to be a ‘must-attend’ event for anyone who sources fine foods.  This year there’s even more new products to see and suppliers to meet - including 80 small producers – guaranteeing visitors a fresh, stimulating experience. If you want to know what’s happening in the fine food world, this is the place to be.”
