HAS A NEW HOME
Due to unprecedented demand, Casual Dining 2019 will take place at the
world-class venue of ExCeL London. We are delighted to have the full
support of the industry and look forward to seeing Casual Dining thrive
at its new home. ExCeL is one of the most sought-after venues in Europe
and with the introduction of the Elizabeth Line at the end of 2018, it will
be just 10-15 minutes from central London. We’ll be enhancing the
special Casual Dining atmosphere and offering an improved exhibitor and
visitor experience that is second to none.
The message from the buyers is clear…
“Casual Dining is the definitive show in our sector. I look
forward to seeing the show grow in its new home of ExCeL
in 2019.”

The move to ExCeL allows Casual Dining
to do the following:
Give the show a more branded look and feel
Showcase even more innovations
Have a much-improved build up and breakdown experience
Grow responsibly and give our exhibitors more options in terms of size
and location of stand across a single level floor plan
