Restaurant Show 2011

The Restaurant Show 2011 proved to be the industry trade event of the year,  being hailed as the best yet.  Exciting cook-offs, highly coveted culinary titles to fight for, astute commercial advice from market-leading experts and some of the most innovative products being launched exclusively at the show, have reinforced the show's respected position as the event for the restaurant and foodservice industry.

Highly acclaimed chef Elena Arzak of Arzak, San Sebastian, officially opened this year's eagerly awaited Restaurant Show. Packed with new and exciting concepts, this year's show provides first-class features that reinforce its reputation as the must-attend exhibition on the industry calendar.

The Restaurant Show is the event of choice to launch new products and concepts to the restaurant and foodservice sectors.  Reaching key decision makers from  restaurants, dining pubs, bars, hotels and caterers, the show is the perfect place for our 300-strong exhibitors to showcase some of the most impressive new products and innovations on the market.

With the dining out market under increasing commercial and competitive pressure , with food and drink prices rising faster than inflation  and the Olympic Games less than a year away, the need for UK foodservice owners and operators to realise a first-class dining experience and commercial operation; one which encourages customer loyalty and does not compromise on quality, professionalism, staff morale or profits, has never been more important.

For fine food and inspirational menu ideas look no further than this year's The Restaurant Show which is being held at Earls Court 2, London from 10th to 12th October 2011. Whether it's new and inspiring produce, expert advice and ideas or simply the thrill and excitement of the celebrities and competitions, The Restaurant Show won't disappoint.

The Drinks Quarter at The Restaurant Show 2011 will play host to some of the most impressive names in the industry today, bringing together extensive knowledge and expertise that will help shape the way restaurateurs and bar managers manage the drinks element of their businesses.   

As the leading trade industry event for the restaurant sector, it's only fitting that The Restaurant Show works together with some of the most important associations in the hospitality arena.  

Leading industry exhibition The Restaurant Show has recently appointed Rachel Quigley as Event Director for the Show.

The Restaurant Show 2010 has been the long-standing exhibition's most successful year to date, with both exhibitor and visitor numbers well up from last year, despite the continuing pinch of the economic climate.
