Food and drink Catering show was cooking on gas! A switch of venue to Robin Hill Country Park made this year’s Medina Foodservice Catering Exhibition in March the biggest show yet. Over 85 exhibitors were there to showcase their products, and with over 300 customers visiting, the day was a resounding success. Even the soggy weather conditions for most of the day couldn’t dampen the spirits of visitors, and customers took full advantage of some of the great special offers available on the day. The staff of Robin Hill did a great job, while the exhibitors were as enthusiastic as ever when it came to passing on recipe ideas and showing their latest products. The Isle of Wight College provided some showcase cooking from its stand, and the array of dishes prepared by the students proved that there’s plenty of upcoming cooking talent to look forward to. Medina’s team , who were on hand to answer queries and generally assist visitors, said afterwards that it was the best show they have had to date and are now hoping for an even bigger and better show next year. www. visitilife.com 113
