The sixth HTA Catering Conference 2015 will take place on June 9-10 at The Belfry, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. The two day conference, complete with conference dinner and exhibition, and sponsored by Vision Commercial Kitchens, will cover hot topics that impact garden centre catering. 

Trevor Pfeiffer of Garden Trade News, will chair a panel session each day which will focus on areas such as whether to use concessions on not, self-service versus waitress service, chefs versus cooks, family favourites versus new trends and the convenience of ‘grab and go’ offerings. 

Will Armitage, Managing Director of Armitage’s Home and Garden, Ron Bent of Bents Garden and Home, Helen Joyce of Thirsk Garden Centre and Anthony Hester (pictured), Head of Restaurants at Dobbies Garden Centres, will all join the panel on day one. 

Throughout the two days, there will be plenty of time for networking, with the conference exhibition providing a great opportunity to meet with catering product suppliers.
