Joining The Chefs' Forum

The Chefs’ Forum give national brands a regional face and presence. Quarterly networking events across ten regions create an opportunity for regional sales representatives to meet chefs, hospitality professionals and buyers on a local level. The Chefs’ Forum is a regional, fragmented alternative to a large national trade show.

There is the opportunity for sponsored content on the website in the form of recipes or editorial, as well as banners and buttons that link through to your site.

Films, Showreels and Food Photography
The Chefs’ Forum can source the very best film makers and food photographers in the business. Make your brand work for you with stunning images and high production value film to really showcase your produce or catering equipment in its best light, whilst being used by top chefs as the best possible endorsement.

Bespoke Market Insight Research amongst Chefs
The Chefs’ Forum is often called upon to carry out market insight research on behalf of large foodservice brands. It is imperative that these brands stay in touch with their target market and identify food and industry trends in order to effectively plan marketing campaigns throughout the year.

"The Chefs’ Forum was tasked with helping Adande create and deliver awareness through regional events that would educate the chefs to the benefits and applications of the Adande technology, as well as promoting Adande via its digital platform. The strategy developed met our objectives, with a strong communication of what chefs wanted and was based upon one to one engagement within their forums. Without Catherine and her team Adande would not have benefited in effected forums to showcase the best refrigerated drawers in the world. The Chefs’ forums have helped us reach the chef audience efficiently and delivered a significant level of leads that has generated good exposure for Adande and given chefs what they really want in a kitchen, great refrigerated products. That is why we simply keep using The Chefs’ Forum!"

"Koppert Cress has worked with The Chefs’ Forum for the past seven years. Working with fresh produce suppliers and urging chefs to ask for Koppert Cress by name. The Chefs’ Forum offers us the perfect platform from which to demonstrate our micro cresses and micro greens and their application in menus as ingredients as opposed to a garnish. We use Chefs’ Forum events to give live cookery, plating and assembly demos, as well as to gaining chefs’ feedback on market insight into new species under development and new products launched. We are now working with The Chefs’ Forum Academy to grow our network of Koppert Cress Centres of Excellence in UK FE Colleges.
