\"casual<\/a>Momentum continues to build for Casual Dining \u2013 the first dedicated trade exhibition for the UK\u2019s \u00a36.6 billion casual dining market \u2013 as a host of leading industry suppliers add their names to the show\u2019s inaugural exhibitor list. A major new event from Diversified Business Communications, the organisers behind the award-winning lunch! brand, Casual Dining will launch next year at London\u2019s Business Design Centre on the 26-27 February 2014.<\/p>\n

Casual Dining\u2019s group event manager Chris Brazier believes the strong exhibitor uptake \u2013 which already includes confirmed bookings by big names like Kimbo UK, Unox UK, Cheese Cellar, Disotto Foods, Magrini, Catering Design Group, JDM Foodgroup, Halton Foodservice, and True Food International \u2013 reflects how seriously companies serving the casual dining sector are taking the new show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working very closely with key leading industry operators and suppliers and have been delighted with the wide scale support the show is receiving,\u201d says Brazier. \u201cWith new exhibitors coming on board each week, our visitors will enjoy an unrivalled showcase of innovative products \u2013 including food, drink, table top, equipment, furniture, interior design and technology \u2013 from 120 hand-picked companies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s not just the exhibitors that are getting behind this concept,\u201d he adds, \u201cmany leading casual dining outlets \u2013 including popular high-street names like Ask, PizzaExpress, Zizzi, Prezzo, Chimichanga, Pizza Hut and Carluccio\u2019s \u2013 intend to send their buyers and specifiers to the launch next February.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Handmade Cake Company; Robot Coupe (UK); Alan Nuttall; Invest Northern Ireland; Karimix; Nelson Catering Equipment; Redemption Food; Metro Drinks; Soulful Food; and Spikomat \u2013 Skewers, are just a few more recent additions to Casual Dining\u2019s diverse menu of founding exhibitors.<\/p>\n

Although far from immune to the effects of the global recession of latter years, the casual dining market (which encompasses everything from full-service branded chains like wagamama and Cot\u00ea, fast-casual outlets like Nando\u2019s, and managed pub restaurants like JD Wetherspoon and Mitchells & Butlers, to thousands of independent gastro-pubs and in-house restaurants), has enjoyed strong growth compared to other areas of the hospitality sector. Managed pub restaurants, for example, now hold a 22% share of the UK\u2019s eating out market (up from 18% in 2008); a figure foodservice analyst Horizons forecast to rise to 26% by 2016.<\/p>\n

Flexible, convenient and affordable, casual dining outlets provide their patrons an effective way to stretch their budgets without it impacting on their social lives. Given that many diners would rather cut the cost, than the frequency, of eating out \u2013 it\u2019s a trend that certainly looks set to continue. Making Diversified UK\u2019s new Casual Dining show a timely opportunity to showcase the best that this important market has to offer.<\/p>\n

Suzanne Jackson, executive director of the Hospitality Guild, welcomes the launch, saying: \u201cThe casual dining sector is a significant contributor to the hospitality industry offering career opportunities, professional development and indeed growth for the British economy. A dedicated and relevant show inspiring further innovation for our restaurants and pubs is to be highly commended.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCasual dining brands have revolutionised the UK eating out market over the last 15 years. We may have learnt the business from our American cousins, but now the best British operators are setting the standards both here and abroad. The time has come for a dedicated trade show that meets the needs of this dynamic sector,\u201d agrees Peach Factory\u2019s CEO, Peter Martin.<\/p>\n

Casual Dining will take place at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, on 26-27 February 2014.\n<\/p>\n
