We're excited to welcome Hilton Hotels back to the Catering Platform this year!

Hilton is one of the largest hospitality groups in the UK & Ireland, operating numerous well-known brands across hundreds of hotels nationwide — from city-centre stays to resort destinations.

If you're a supplier looking to connect with major hospitality groups, this is a great opportunity to be in the room👀

Join us on the 9th and 10th July to meet the buyers who are looking to connect with suppliers: https://www.platformevents.co.uk/events/catering/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=catering_event_2026&utm_content=company_page_post

📣 1 month to go!!

Our Catering Platform is officially just a month away 👀

So, a quick look back at last year—great food, great brands, and plenty of conversations happening throughout the day ☀️

Over two days, buyers and suppliers come together for focused, pre-arranged meetings—making it easier to have the right conversations, with the right people.

We already have a strong line-up of buyers and suppliers confirmed for July, with some really exciting names involved!

If you’re in catering and looking to connect with relevant partners, discover new products, or explore new opportunities, it’s not too late to get involved.

👉 Book your place before it’s too late, or drop us a message if you'd like to know more:

Great feedback from Almond Family Pubs, who attended our Catering Platform last year 👏

Having the ability to choose who you meet makes the whole experience much more focused.

And it’s those conversations that often lead to real opportunities afterwards.

If you’re looking to connect with the right suppliers, join us at Catering Platform on 9–10 July 🗓️

Happy World Environment Day!🌱

To celebrate, a bit of a throwback to some of the fantastic plant-based suppliers we’ve had at our previous Catering Platform!🪴🍴

It’s been great to see so many suppliers offering plant-based products, and the growing interest in these options across catering.

What once felt like a trend is now becoming a key part of menus, with more choice, flexibility, and practical solutions available.

A nice reflection on how much things have progressed 👏

Every attendee at Catering Platform 2025 who responded to our post-event survey said they left the event with at least one potential business opportunity to follow up on 👀

And that’s exactly what the event is all about.

So much time can go into trying to get in front of the right people — the emails, follow-ups, calls, LinkedIn messages… sometimes it can take weeks just to start a conversation.

At Catering Platform, those conversations happen naturally because everyone is there for the same reason: to discover new ideas, products, and partnerships.

It’s always great to see buyers and suppliers leave the event with new connections, fresh ideas, and conversations already continuing beyond the venue!

Join us in July if you're looking for new connections🤝

One of the biggest challenges for suppliers isn’t always finding companies to speak to — it’s actually getting in front of the right people.

The emails, follow-ups, LinkedIn messages, and back-and-forth can go on for weeks before a real conversation even starts.

That’s why getting face-to-face still makes such a difference.

At Catering Platform, suppliers have the opportunity to meet decision-makers who are actively looking for new products, ideas, and partnerships for their business, making those conversations feel much more natural from the start.

Here’s what the fantastic Vegan Food Group had to say after the last event 👇

Most suppliers don’t struggle with finding companies to contact.

They struggle with getting through to the right people.

The researching, cold outreach, follow-ups and unanswered emails can take weeks or even months before a real conversation even happens.

At Platform Events, those meaningful conversations start the moment you arrive at the venue, with potential partners already there ready to meet you.

Here’s what the fantastic Burts Potato Chips said after attending the last Catering Platform👇

Harrods are currently reviewing and evolving their entire food and beverage operation.

From menu development across restaurants and retail, to production capability, supply chain and long-term strategy, there’s a lot in motion behind the scenes.

They’re coming to Catering Platform to meet suppliers who can support that. Not just on food, but across equipment, systems, packaging, and operational services that can genuinely add value as they scale and refine what they do.

If you’re a supplier who fits into that space, this is exactly the kind of conversation you want to be in the room for.

Most people think Catering Platform is just food.
It’s not.

Yes, there are food and drink suppliers there, but it’s also the stuff that actually keeps kitchens and venues running properly: equipment, cleaning, tech, day-to-day operational bits you don’t always think about until you need them.

That’s what makes the conversations more useful. You’re not just looking at what goes on the menu, you’re looking at how the whole operation works.

Catering Platform is back this July at Hilton London Heathrow.
