“The Source helps us with new ideas for food and drink combinations and flavours. It’s great to meet new suppliers, those we already work with, and to try new products. It’s a worthwhile event to attend, very well organised, with a good range of suppliers, at a good venue that’s easy to get to with loads of parking.””
