WHAT MAKES UCFF SO UNIQUE?

1

Every year we travel the country to find a new foodie destination / location to host the live event

The programme is designed by chefs for chefs, so always delivers the right content and addresses the hot issues and challenges of the time​​

3

5

Foraging is a key highlight and has seen chefs forage in woodlands through to coastal cliffsides

7

Each hosting venue has a food story to tell, be it a working buffalo farm, fresh produce nursery, rapeseed oil farm and factory or a traditional British fruit farm with rows of orchards that are shared with delegates in the form of insightful tours

9

This event is dynamic and allows you to combine all the senses – sight, sound, touch, smell, taste – things email, phone and advertising just cannot do

11

All food & drink is included in the ticket price, so there are no hidden extras

2

This is the only chefs’ event in the UK to be hosted outside and transport chefs back to nature

4

Multiple stages with chef demonstrations, interviews and panel debates give choice and engages attendees throughout the day

6

Over the years the event has developed some favourite attractions such as clay pigeon shooting, and the feather and fur demo stage

8

Attendees from the whole food chain congregate at ucff to debate the sector and future including farmers, growers, fishermen, conservationists, nutritionists,
chefs and buyers

10

ucff is informal in every way - if it is cold you wear wellies, and if it’s hot you wear sunnies – this breaks down any barriers and ensures the best networking possible

12

Finally, before leaving and to round the day off attendees enjoy a final networking event that consists of a delicious BBQ washed down with local beer while listening to a local band to finish the day
