Brakes announces plans to host 4 foodie expos across country
Abstract
Foodservice wholesaler Brakes has announced plans to host four foodie expos during 2026 with the first taking place at Stoneleigh Park on 25th March.

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. The other venues include Farnborough (15th April) Paisley (20th May) and Twickenham (10th June).

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

The Brakes’ foodie expos have become a ‘must visit’ for customers since making a return after the pandemic, with the events showcasing new food and inspiring ideas. 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.

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.”

More information and registration for the expo can be found on the Brakes website.
