CATERING & HOSPITALITY

'Food Direct From The Farm' - The East of England Showground has strong links with the Agricultural industry and one of the key objectives of the Agricultural Society is to promote British Agriculture.

Launched in 2003 by the Society, a wholesale operation has since developed under Food Direct and continues to support an increasing number of businesses across the region. Over the next three years the volume of top quality produce purchased from a growing group of local farmer producers is expected to triple.

'Great Tasting Food From Farm To Fork' - All of the produce used within the Showground's indoor and outdoor catering operations is sourced from local farmers and processors, ensuring full traceability from beginning to end. Seasonality is also brought to the table resulting in great food that not only tasted good but is fresh.

We offer a comprehensive selection of menus to suit your particular event and budget and you will have the assurance that the food is of an extremely high standard, looks good and tastes great.

Our Hospitality Team are experienced at Catering for a wide variety of events, ranging from the smallest of buffets to 3,500 British breakfasts at large outdoor events and exclusive Royal Banquets.
