The panel had  a very thought provoking discussion covering the rise of healthy dining at a reasonable price, food-to-go dining, meeting new demands, vegan sections on restaurant menus and product range and finally the current expectation to eat out any time, any place, anywhere.

 

Following on from the initial discussion there was a lot of  audience participation with Q and A with the panel.

The audience then took to their social media platforms

“Keep up the food work heather, everyone needs educating, even I’m still learning!”

 “That was a fun panel full of insight!”

 “Thanks for being involved, we are so excited about what’s to come”

“You are doing a great job promoting the plant-based lifestyle heather”

 

The organisers said:

 

“thank you Heather for coming and educating !”

VBites also had a large presence at the show and served a selection of samples across their award winning range from their show piece catering Airstreem truck, over the duration of the 3 days.
