Welcome to
DINING
The future of eating and drinking out
The casual dining sector is big business in the UK and it’s set to get even bigger.
The eating and drinking out sector has changed dramatically in recent years. Pubs have changed their focus from the ‘traditional pub’ to a food led all day offering and our high streets are increasingly dominated by aspirational branded restaurants. It’s a sector where innovation, branding and differentiation have become the keys to success and where the UK, increasingly, is seen as a world leader. Casual Dining is the must-attend event entirely dedicated to this sector. Winning the prestigious ‘Best UK Trade Show (under 2000sqm)’ award twice in its first 2 years, it’s where the who’s who from the sector come together for product launches, world class seminars, networking and a celebration of the best that the sector has to offer. It’s where decision makers come to do business.
Who exhibits? Successful exhibitors at Casual Dining have showcased thousands of innovative products from the following sectors: FOOD CATERING EQUIPMENT SOFT DRINKS | JUICES | WATER TEA | COFFEE | HOT DRINKS BEER | CIDER | WINE | CHAMPAGNE | SPIRITS TABLEWARE | FRONT OF HOUSE TECHNOLOGY | EPOS DESIGN SERVICES | FURNITURE BUSINESS | FINANCIAL SERVICES
“ We don’t have to fly across the Atlantic to find the latest industry innovations under one roof any more – Casual Dining has brought all that and more to the UK.” KAREN FORRESTER, CEO, TGI FRIDAYS UK
“Each year Casual Dining offers more, in every aspect. It’s unmissable for new products, innovations and new ideas.”
“Casual Dining is a fantastic event for anyone in our industry. It’s great to be able to meet so many suppliers in one place.”

100% RELEVANT
A GREAT VENUE
Only companies that have products which are directly relevant to the casual dining sector are invited to exhibit. We also ensure that there is a broad and balanced representation from the various parts of the industry so that the show doesn’t get dominated by any one category.
The show will once again take place at the Business Design Centre in Islington, which provides a fantastic, boutique-style backdrop for the show. The venue is located in one of the most vibrant areas of London. It also benefits from great transport links making it easily accessible.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION Featuring a vibrant exhibition floor, Casual Dining looks fantastic and is presented as a premium event, to reflect the sector. Little touches like live music on the show floor, networking areas, a VIP Lounge and FREE world class seminars, help the show stand apart.
