Brakes, the UK’s leading foodservice wholesaler, has announced four new foodie expos for 2026.

With venues covering the length and breadth of the country, food businesses will be able to sample products from more than 100 suppliers, as well as Sysco branded products and specialist ranges. They will also be able to speak to experts from Brakes Catering Equipment and enjoy food and inspiration from sister companies Fresh Direct, Country Choice and kff.

The events start on 25 March at Stoneleigh Park, before moving to Farnborough on 15 April, Paisley on 20 May and finishing at Twickenham on 10 June.

The Brakes’ foodie expos have become a ‘must visit’ for customers since making a welcome return after the pandemic, with the events showcasing new food and inspiring ideas. This year, Brakes’ chefs will also be demonstrating a range of products that help to reduce labour or waste, save on cooking time and produce a good margin.

Visitors can discuss on-trend and insight-led solutions with Brakes’ chefs, along with sector marketing and category specialists.

Mark Irish, Head of Food Development at Brakes, said: “Food is at the heart of what we do and being able to taste and experience dishes is the best way to see how it can play a part on the menu.

“The expos are extremely popular with customers who want to understand the latest trends, get insight from a range of suppliers, but most importantly, share great food.”
