An exhibition for companies involved in the lunchtime 'food to go' market is set to be expanded because exhibition space is close to being sold out, its organisers have announced.

The Lunch! Show, which takes place at Old Billingsgate in central London on 26-27 September, has 70 exhibitors booked.

Event manager John Clifton said: "We can confidently look forward to beating our target of 100 quality exhibitors in the first year. But even better is the quality of those exhibitors, ranging from innovative packaging companies, ingredients, speciality drinks and interiors to breads, tea and coffee, EPOS systems and cakes – in fact, everything you could ever need to run a quality food to go business."

Confirmed exhibitors include Innocent Drinks, Nestle, PepsiCo, Walkers, Fairfields Farm Crisps, Firefly Tonics, Chegworth Valley Juices, Clever Box, London Bio Packaging, Kraft Foods, Pan Italy, Salty Dog Brands and The London Tea Company.

The event, being held in association with the British Sandwich Association, is being supported by a marketing campaign targeting around 60,000 individual trade buyers, covering independent retailers, multiple retailers and contract caterers.

The show has been developed in consultation with Marks and Spencer, Oi Bagel, Pret A Manger, Benugo and O'Briens Sandwich Bars.
