Lime Venue Portfolio has launched the Big Event Food Survey 2025, a research project designed to explore
how food continues to influence, and elevate, the event experience.
The survey
will represent another year of data on food and events, and will track changing
attitudes and tastes within events and amongst delegates.
Food remains a
defining part of events, and the survey returns in 2025 to look at how industry
habits are changing. It examines the choices behind event menus, the growing
focus on sustainability and inclusion, and how food can make experiences more
memorable and meaningful for delegates.
Previous research showed that around 45 per cent of all event feedback
relates to food, a rise from previous years. The findings from this year’s
study will once again be made freely available to the industry, providing
valuable insight into how organisers, venues, and caterers can continue to
raise standards across the sector.
“Food has a huge
influence on the success of events, it brings people together, reflects brand
values, and creates memories long after the day itself,” said Jenner
Carter, head of marketing, Lime Venue Portfolio. “This survey gives everyone in
our industry a chance to shape the future of event food. The more people take
part, the richer the data becomes, and the more we can develop the best
experience for our guests.”
Open to organisers,
venues, caterers and suppliers, the survey looks at feedback patterns,
budgeting priorities, plant-based trends, food waste and sustainability. It
also delves into changing attitudes toward inclusion and dietary choice,
providing a detailed picture of where the sector stands and where it’s heading.
