Why visit

A few hours that will set you up for a successful year.

Perfectly timed and showcasing products that cover the whole of the hospitality and catering market; from tableware to furniture, catering equipment to business services, coffee to speciality food, this show really does have Cornwall covered!

If you have a serious interest in hospitality and catering, food and drink, Cornwall and its economy, then Expowest Cornwall is the show for you.

The ever growing number of buyers who come to this show each year are often pressed for time – but they realise that attendance puts them at the forefront of the latest trends for a whole 12 months. In just a few hours you’ll get a real sense of which way the market is moving, what’s likely to sell best in 2020 and grab the best ideas while they’re still fresh. A very impressive 96% of visitors in 2019 said they would recommend the show to colleagues or contacts within the industry, and 97% said they’ll be returning to the Royal Cornwall Showground for next year’s show.

Who should attend?

Retail outlets; delicatessens to farm shops, supermarkets to tourist attractions.
Food service and hospitality; caterers, cafés, restaurants and hotels to pubs and guest houses.
The public sector; from institutes such as schools and hospitals.

Helping you make better informed decisions

Attending gives you the vital advantage of tasting the latest innovations in food and drink, as well as testing and evaluating the products and services on show. There’s no substitute for meeting people face to face – you’ll almost certainly get better terms and superior service if you’ve taken the time to build a proper relationship with them.

Who can you expect to see?

Expowest Cornwall presents an unusually broad range of products and services. These span the whole of the hospitality and catering market from foodservice to fresh produce, bakery to business services, ice cream to catering equipment, drinks to dairy, tableware to toiletries, and speciality foods to sundry supplies, plus much more besides

When it comes to building those all-important business relationships there’s no substitute for meeting people face to face and no better time or place than at Expowest Cornwall.

The show is a good way to meet several suppliers in one place, saving lots of time, phone calls etc. We really enjoy the show each year, and have met a few suppliers as a result who we wouldn’t have been in contact with otherwise, so it’s very useful to small businesses such as ours.”
