lunch! Previews New Products For 2014
With
exhibition space filling up fast for the biggest ever edition of lunch! – the
UK’s premier trade event for the food-to-go sector, organiser Diversified
Communications UK has released its first preview of some of the new products set
to make their debut this year.
Returning to
the Business Design Centre in London on 23-24 September, the multi-award
winning show[1] will feature 300 exhibiting companies showcasing a wealth of
new food and drink products, packaging, equipment and technologies. Ten weeks
out from the show, over 98% of available exhibition space is already sold out.
Whilst visitor pre-registration is at record levels, with over 6,000 attendees
expected.
New
exhibitors for 2014 include Orchard House Foods, Coburg Coffee Company,
Mexicana Cheese, Geeta's Foods, eco-friendly tableware supplier Little Cherry,
Bib and Spoon (offering freshly made baby food to go), EPOSability, KMERA
(creators of OOb – the first brand to provide pearl tea in a ready-to-go format
in the UK); and Krüst Bakery – currently one of the only European suppliers
that who can produce Krüst-Cronuts (its take on Dominique Ansel’s famous
croissant-doughnut fusion, which took New York by storm last year) on a large
scale. Already a big word-of-mouth success
in Ireland, the Krüst-Cronut will be launching in the UK at lunch!.

debut. Its range of drink dispense
systems features leading hot beverage brands like Lavazza, Nescafe Milano, PG

Solutions. Set to be a big draw for many
lunch! visitors, the Sous Vide specialists (who have never exhibited at any UK
show before) will be will be demonstrating how its ‘precise time and
temperature technology’ can benefit lunchtime retailers. Usually the preserve
of Michelin-starred restaurants, their solutions include a new 58 hour cooked
medium rare beef.
“The
outstanding reputation that lunch! has is amazing. Everyone we asked said it was ‘the best
food-to-go show by far’, and if we were going to exhibit anywhere it had to be
at lunch!,” says Jill Caseberry, co-founder of one of lunch!’s newest exhibitors
Enhance Drinks. An innovative new
British water-enhancing brand, the Enhance range includes Orange & Passion
Fruit, Lemon & Lime, Strawberry & Kiwi, and Apple & Blackcurrant
variants.
