Many thanks to all those who attended H&CS 2013. In taking over H&CS we have been astounded by the level and quality of support we have received from the hospitality sector and what we have been able to achieve with your help.
We have well and truly revived and revitalised H&CS with the fantastic support of a great many individuals and organisations, driving renewed participation into the event from a high quality audience participation.
As a result we are now focused on developing that position and delivering even greater interaction and engagement through to the event in 2014.
H&CS 2013 is choc-a-block with new features and great reasons to participate for serious buyers from across the South of England and beyond. Whether it is special offers from exhibitors, professional seminars, chef demos or wine tasting – H&CS has it all.
If you’re running a hotel, restaurant, bar or kitchen H&CS 2013 is full of special offers, new products and professional seminars as well as inspirational demos with top chefs.
The Organisers have a strict policy on students visiting the show and as this is a professional trade event no students/colleges
will be allowed to visit the Hotel & Catering Show 2013.
Come with special offers and come to do business. H&CS 2013 will be busy, engaging and focused on developing your sales and professional networks.
H&CS will feature chefs, proprietors and managers of hospitality establishments from across the south of England and beyond.
