In 2025, operators are balancing rising costs, shifting trading conditions, and the pressure to stand out in increasingly saturated markets, all while navigating the day-to-day demands of running a mobile, fast-paced food business.
Street Food Business Expo 2025 returns to London this autumn to support the next wave of independent food entrepreneurs, traders, and street food brands. From new startups to established operators looking to grow into fixed sites, festivals, or franchising, the show brings together everything needed to run a successful street food business today.
Across two days, attendees will discover the latest in food innovation, equipment, pitch-ready tech, packaging, marketing, and customer experience, with suppliers and speakers who understand the unique pace and creativity of the sector. With practical sessions on scaling up, accessing funding, navigating local regulations, and growing your brand both online and on the ground, the event is focused on real-world success stories and tangible takeaways.
Whether you're trading from a market stall, food truck, shipping container, or pop-up kitchen, Street Food Business Expo is the place to connect with your next partner, platform, or idea.
The event is free to attend and forms part of the Hospitality B2B Portfolio, providing access to co-located events including, Restaurant & Takeaway Innovation Expo, Hospitality Tech Expo, Hotel & Resort Innovation Expo, Trade Drinks Expo, Cafe Business Expo and Responsible Packaging Expo, making it one of the most valuable dates in the hospitality calendar.
