A popular speciality food event is set to return to Glasgow’s SECC this January. Scotland’s Speciality Food Show – the only fine food trade exhibition north of the Border – is aimed at quality food retailers including delis, farm and tourist shops, department stores and independent retailers.

And with an increasing emphasis on food and drink for the hospitality sector, some of the 150+ exhibitors will be launching their products for the first time.

Complemented by a blend of established food companies and distributors, the show offers an excellent mix of Scottish, British and worldwide foods.
