Scottish produce celebrated at Speciality Food & Drink Show 2025

Scotland’s Speciality Food & Drink Show will be held at the SEC, Glasgow, from 19-21 January 2025 to celebrate quality, innovation and flavour.

 

Scottish food and drink artisan and mainstream producers will be exhibiting to visitors from delis, farm shops, tourist outlets, cafés and restaurants.

 

Regional food groups such as Orkney and Food from Argyll will be on hand to showcase multi-producer stands, including Isle of Mull Coffee, Slainte Sauces, Isle of Mull Cheese and Annie’s Herb Kitchen, all from Argyll, and rum, seafood, oatcakes, whisky and ice-cream from Orkney.

 

Of the 100-plus exhibitors, about a third are new to the show. The Launch Gallery for new young companies will house 8 Doors Distillery from John O’Groats, Bealach Gin from Inverness-shire, Goat Rodeo Goods condiments, Sour Power Vinegars and the Third Sin chocolatier. Beyond these newcomers, producers such as Rise & Grind Roastery and the TeaShed are first time exhibitors.

 

Existing producers will be launching new ranges and re-connecting with customers, such as Great Glen Charcuterie, Island Larder, Stewart Tower Dairy, Kilted Fudge Co, Angels Dare Cocktails and the Cress Co distributors.

 

The show will also run a programme of panel discussions, from Net Zero Nation on sustainability, trends and Scottish Tourism Alliance’s keynote panel, to a one-to-one interview on Success of a Farm Shop from Emma Niven at Loch Leven’s Larder.

 

The 2025 show is being organised in partnership with Scotland Food & Drink, which will bring some of its members, as well as key buyers. On Tuesday 21 January the trade organisation will host a session in the Talking Shop on Scottish food and drink.

 

Show director Mark Saunders said: “We recognise how key this show is for fine food and drink outlets across not just Scotland but the rest of the UK and overseas. Here they can look, taste and discover products that will increase their footfall and their sales. By attending you can be assured you’ll be ahead of your competitors in sourcing new ranges and new stock for the coming year.”
