Welsh food and drink producers are gearing up for one of the UK’s most important trade events, the Northern Restaurant & Bar Show.
Northern Restaurant & Bar 2025 (NRB25) is the north of England’s leading hospitality trade event, and the Welsh contingent includes products as diverse as Welsh Cured Salt Beef and Flavoured Vodka – all hoping to catch the eye of the hospitality industry audience.
Held at the Manchester Central Convention Complex on March 11 and 12, NRB25 will bring together over 8,500 visitors and more than 300 exhibitors for two days of business, networking, and education.

Alex James, the programme’s manager said:
“NRB25 is an excellent opportunity for Welsh food and drink producers to position themselves in front of an audience focused on delivering memorable and exciting dining experiences.
“We know Welsh produce has an excellent reputation for quality and innovation, and recent research by Welsh Government’s Food and Drink Wales Insight Programme highlights the growing attachment to Welsh food and drink from consumers outside of Wales.
