Artisan Food Trail members to exhibit at the Caffè Culture Show

The Caffè Culture Show is just four weeks away, taking place from 14th-15th May 2014 at London Olympia, and we are busy making preparations to exhibit at the event.
We're very much looking forward to having a presence at this particular trade show, representing our members and spreading the word about artisan food and drink producers.

For those of you that have been watching the new BBC2 television series, Business Boomers, will have seen the first episode, Coffee Shop Hot Shots. This documentary looked at how, despite tough economic times, the café business has remained strong and is continuing to grow. And it's not
just the big chain businesses either, even individuals are grabbing
the opportunity with both hands and independent coffee shops are
opening everywhere.

Of course this means there is going to be competition for these outlets meaning they are looking for other quality products to give them a point
of difference.
A good food offering is key and café owners realise that it means going beyond a mediocre muffin or disappointing panini. They will not only be looking for ready-made products but also exceptional ingredients to create their own sandwiches and the like.
Serving great coffee is one thing, but some people enjoy a good cup of tea
or even a soft drink, so these items will also be on the list.

Several Artisan Food Trail members have already taken the plunge
and booked stands at the show as they wish to reach a wider market with
their products.

So far, they are:
Breckland Orchard stand K35
Cotswold Gold stand AM10
Fudge Kitchen stand A5
The Kandula Tea Company stand J33
You will also be able to find us, The Artisan Food Trail, in the Artisan Food Market area on stand AM8

The Artisan Food Market is filling up and businesses already confirmed are: Eboni ac Eifori, Ganache Macaron, Biscotti di Debora, The Brownie Bar, Chegworth Valley Juices, The Free From Bakehouse, Noshraw, My Sweet Tooth Factory, Cotswold Gold, Anila's Sauces, Clam's Handmade, The Malted Waffle Company, Cuckoo Muesli and Doisy & Dam.

We hope to see more AFT members take part and will keep this post updated as their bookings are confirmed.
The floorplan can also be viewed on the show's website here

Caffè Culture Show partners with The Artisan Food Trail

The Artisan Food Trail are partners for this year's Caffè Culture Show which takes place on the 14th – 15th May at Olympia, London.

For the first time, the trade show will include a village of local producers and The Artisan Food Trail will be exhibiting in this area. There are opportunities for AFT members to exhibit too which means this is the ideal event for our members to meet business owners from the café bar industry, as well as benefit from being alongside AFT in a dedicated area.

Caffè Culture is the only event in the UK dedicated to the café industry which will introduce buyers and suppliers to one another. Attracting buyers looking for those products which set them apart and bring customers to their doors, The Artisan Food Trail hopes that its members will take full advantage by exhibiting at the show.

Caffè Culture has brought a new artisanal focus for 2014 realising that people are looking for products with a point of difference as an antidote to mass-produced items.

AFT members wishing to exhibit should get in touch with The Artisan Food Trail.
Other non-members are welcome to contact us if they wish to become members (if eligible) and take advantage of the opportunity.
