EssentialPreview FINE FOOD AFFAIR
Discover a world of fine regional and speciality produce at Olympia in September
Visit the Speciality & Fine Food Fair - September 5-7, Olympia, London - for inspiration to help you meet the increasing demand for regionally produced, artisanal food and beverages
It's official: we are a nation of 'foodies'.

Over a third of exhibitors are attending the show this year for the first time making the event a unique opportunity to find new suppliers and source new products on a scale not possible anywhere else in the UK in 2010.
Exhibitors - many attending this year for the first time -
offer visitors a selection of interesting, creative, premium products that could provide that all-important point of difference to their business. Representatives from all of the UK's main National and Regional Food Groups will also be present with an array of natural, organic and fine foods.
