The HTA have announced a date for this year’s Catering Conference, which will be a two-day event including a dinner and a trade show.

Titled ‘Catering Matters’ and sponsored by Vision Kitchens, it will take place on 9 and 10 June 2015 at The Belfry, Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands.

The venue – 20 minutes from Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham New Street Station – is  the home of the PGA National golf course.

Topics impacting garden centre catering will be tackled both in conference and workshop format. They include growing the catering offer, local provenance and menu planning. There will be time for networking, with the conference exhibition providing an opportunity to meet with catering product suppliers.

New for 2015, the conference dinner will provide a further chance to network and share experiences with those involved in garden centre catering in  The Belfry's impressive setting.
