Quality Food
Awards Returns
to Celebrate Excellence and Innovation in UK Grocery and Foodservice
Quality Food Awards Returns
The prestigious Quality Food Awards (QFA) are back for 2025, bringing together the UK’s most influential retailers, brands, producers, and suppliers for a night of celebration, networking, and recognition.
The event will take place on Wednesday 12 November 2025 at Hilton Bankside, London and hosted by Chef and TV Presenter, Matt Tebbutt. Tickets are now available at uk.qualityfoodawards.com.
For over 45 years, the Quality Food Awards have set the standard for excellence in the UK food industry, awarding the coveted “Q” mark of quality to outstanding products across grocery retail and foodservice. This year’s event builds on the success of last year’s innovative networking-led format, which was hailed by attendees as a fresh, dynamic way to celebrate the industry.
An Innovative Format with Impact
This year’s awards will once again feature a buzzing Networking Space; complete with a variety of food, drink and entertainment, alongside a dedicated Awards Space where winners will be announced in staggered sessions throughout the evening.
This format ensures maximum opportunity for attendees to network while also celebrating the UK’s very best food and drink products in a relaxed and engaging way. Last year, 80% of attendees cited networking as their main reason for attending, its no wonder when attendees included leading retailers like Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Aldi and Lidl.
“The Quality Food Awards are more than just a celebration of outstanding products; they are a vital meeting point for the entire UK food and drink industry. Our innovative networking-led format means that attendees don’t just watch the awards, they actively connect with the people shaping the sector, from buyers and retailers to producers and suppliers.
We are proud that the Quality Food Awards continue to set the benchmark for excellence in grocery and foodservice, and we can’t wait to welcome the industry again in 2025 to celebrate innovation, quality, and collaboration.”
Atma Hyett, Head of Events at Quality Food Awards.
