What you’ll find

The café is no longer a nice-to-have. Garden centres now serve 148 million café visits a year, with some centres saying their restaurants and cafes account for over 30% of total income. Food and beverage has become one of the biggest commercial opportunities in garden retail, and the catering equipment suppliers, kitchen designers and foodservice vendors shaping it will all be at Glee this September.

For 2026, Food at Glee has its own dedicated zone at the NEC Birmingham, giving catering equipment suppliers, café designers and foodservice vendors the space and visibility to match the sector's growing importance in garden retail.
