The Creed Food Festival 2023
On the 29th June we opened the gates to our best and biggest event to date! Hosted at the Creed Barn and blessed by the best of British summertime weather, we welcomed over 100 suppliers and almost 300 customers to explore our much-anticipated 2023 Food Festival.
The Creed Food Festival is not your average trade show. Alongside a huge range of our supplier stands sprawling across multiple fields and 3 marquees, we also showcased the latest and greatest of Creed concepts, developed by our expert insights and innovation team in-house.
"The best industry event I have ever attended!"
- A Creed Customer
These concepts included first ever customer sampling of our latest Kitchen ’72 street-food solution Curried Away as well as our sweet tooth grab and go crumble solution The Pudding Station. Beyond these fantastic new additions we also showcased our latest allergen free fish & chips offering, Creed Family Butchery, which donated many of it’s products to the all-day BBQ, our coffee shop concept and a pizza premiumisation station featuring our newly installed artisan pizza oven!
Breaking up a day of constant food consumption we were delighted to welcome English and British Lions rugby legends Jonny Wilkinson and of course our own Phil Vickery, to discuss their past sporting glory days and following careers into the industry of food and drink. In the setting of our onsite yurt with built in champagne bar, this became a really interesting and intimate conversation, with some signed shirts even up for grabs!
Towards the evening as the unrelenting sunshine began to lower the great Mark Whalby took over the yurt with his live music performance, keeping the show spirit alive through to the afterparty!
We have been overwhelmed with the positive feedback post event and are already looking to plans for next year… With 100% of survey respondents saying they’ll be back next year, will you be amongst them? Look out for it in early 2024!
