Lunch! joins forces with National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show

Written by: Edward Waddell
Visitor registration is now officially open for the 2025 edition of lunch! and The National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show (the new name for Casual Dining).

Taking place on 24–25th September at Excel London, these two co-located trade shows will bring together the best in food, drink, equipment, and technology for the hospitality and food-to-go sectors.

Recognised as industry-leading events, lunch! and The National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show attract thousands of senior decision-makers from across the UK’s foodservice, retail and hospitality landscape. Last year the show had 8,042 attendees.

Chris Brazier, group event director, said: “These shows are the place to uncover what’s new, what’s next and what’s going to drive growth in the year ahead. We’re excited to bring together industry experts, big-name brands, leading retailers and important operators at Excel for two days of innovation, networking and insight.   

“Visitors to lunch! can expect to discover the latest trends in healthy snacking, food-to-go innovation, coffee shop equipment, drinks, confectionary and packaging. The National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show is a highlight in the calendar for restaurant, pub and bar operators across the country, plus leading leisure and contract caterers.”

This year’s keynote programme will take place across three theatres in each show – promising a fresh perspective on industry challenges and future trends. The full programme will be announced in the summer. 

Registration in advance is free for trade visitors.
