From live pitches to new product launches, Speciality & Fine Food Fair 2025 is the ultimate destination for discovering what’s next in premium food and drink.
Speciality & Fine Food Fair returns to Olympia London on 9–10 September 2025, offering independent retailers, supermarkets, wholesalers, and hospitality operators an in-depth look at the future of fine food and drink.
As the UK’s leading trade event for the speciality food and drink sector, the Fair remains a key destination for buyers seeking fresh ideas and meaningful connections with both emerging and established brands.
Back by popular demand, the Start-Up Village returns with a larger footprint, bringing together exciting newcomers from across the UK and beyond. New for 2025, the IND!E Pavilion will champion a curated line-up of founder-led businesses that embody the spirit of independence.
Another debut this year, the Village Square, promises to be a lively networking hub, hosting sessions across both days from the likes of Cotswold Fayre, Diverse Fine Foods, Invest NI, and Dualit. Plus, the Fair has joined forces with Speciality Food Magazine to shine a spotlight on outstanding regional producers from across the UK.
The ever-popular Drinks Quarter and Wine Cellar will once again offer the chance to sample premium wines, small-batch spirits, and forward-thinking soft drinks, while the Great Taste Deli returns with award-winning products from the Guild of Fine Food’s prestigious Great Taste Awards.
Visitors can also meet international producers and regional collectives, gaining insight into the global trends shaping the speciality sector both at home and abroad.
The Food for Thought Stage delivers a packed programme of panels and practical sessions, covering topics from cyber security and customer loyalty to staff training and future market opportunities.
One of the Fair’s most anticipated features, Pitch Live, returns in partnership with IND!E. This live pitching competition sees up-and-coming brands present their innovations to a panel of expert buyers, advisors, and chefs. For 2025, the platform is bigger than ever – with a dedicated stage and a judging line-up that includes Ocado, Booths, Selfridges, and leading independents.
Celebrating industry excellence, the Speciality & Fine Food Fair Awards will once again recognise standout achievements in new product development, independent retail, and regional innovation.
Whether you’re sourcing for retail, hospitality or foodservice, Speciality & Fine Food Fair 2025 is your opportunity to reconnect with the community, discover game-changing products, and explore what’s next in fine food and drink. With thousands of products on display and a focus on authentic, values-driven producers, it’s a must-attend date in the industry calendar.
