Every year there are food and food related events in the UK and around the world. If you have a catering business these events can be a great way to drum up business. If BBQ is part of your catering business, then I invite you to get creative and have some fun with these events and special days.
UK BBQ Week
Starting with the best BBQ event of the year, UK BBQ Week runs from 4th to 12th May 2024. For catering or food related business this is the absolute excuse to BBQ your food, make some noise about yourself and really have some fun. Currently, things are just warming up and that means you have time to think and plan. This is the ultimate national event for the BBQ industry in the UK. Make sure you are part of it!
Veganuary
For any catering business, keeping up with food trends and trying something different is vital. Veganism is growing worldwide and even a BBQ can be vegan in design. January 2024 will be the nineth year that Veganuary is part of the food calendar. This is an opportunity to bring some vegan recipes and dishes onto your menu, and yes there are some amazing Vegan BBQ ideas. So, push out some vegan food ideas around in January and kick the year off well.
