"...this is simply the best festival on the calendar. Visually last year looked great and there was a very informal, friendly and approachable attitude from all the producers I was so impressed...looking forward to this year."

David Anthony, Carluccio's

At the Real Food Festival we know we can help you find those special ingredients, at competitive prices, that will help differentiate your business from the competition. Come to the Festival on Sunday 9th May or on our special trade only day on Monday 10th May and you will find:

  • Over 400 small producers that you definitely won't find all in the same place at the same time anywhere else.
  • A chance to sample delicious food produced ethically, sustainably and fairly that your customers will love.
  • Time to talk directly to the producers themselves, discovering the individuals stories behind their produce.
  • Enjoy a delicious lunch at the Riverford Organic Field Kitchen restaurant

We directly subsidise these producers to be at the show because we believe that they should have an equal opportunity to find customers and buyers like yourselves, regardless of the size of their business. Visiting the show will give you the opportunity to find new suppliers of unique products that will differentiate you from your competition and give you the edge you need.

At last year's Real Food Festival, our trade day was packed with key buyers from the likes of:

Air India AWT Restaurants BB's Coffee & Muffins
Bibendum Wine BP Brent Council

Register now for your complimentary ticket and bring your entire buying team.
