As well as looking to improve the health of the world we live in, we are also trying improve our own health by considering different diets that offer optimal wellbeing and virus protection. This mind-set has developed and grown rapidly since the outbreak of Covid-19 as consumers saw this as an opportunity to get fit and healthy.

To digest how this will impact foodservice, Joe Angliss is joined by Lucy Pedrick, Bidfood’s Head of Insights, and also Sophie Mancuso, Senior Editor from thefoodpeople – a global food trends and ideas agency.

Food and drink trends for 2021: The New Normal Consumers are becoming more health and safety conscious, assessing not only the virus risks of eating and drinking out, but also the choices and content found on menus. Dishes need to meet a range of growing dietary requirements; we want our food to be made with love and care, and to be delivered in the same way. Safety is a top priority impacting on everything from production and ordering, through to delivery and consumption. To discuss this ever changing and developing trend, Joe Angliss is joined once again by Georgina Triniman from Bidfood’s Customer Marketing team, and also Martin Eshelby who is our Food Innovation Manager.

Home-dining has become a staple aspect of our lives over the last few months. Couple that with the move towards nostalgic and classical dishes, our food has become all about comfort eating. The food for the soul trend suggests that warming, familiar dishes will continue to headline home menus, with interesting, uplifting upgrades expected at our favourite dining-out venues when we eat out or bring the eating-out experience in-home.

To discuss this new trend for food and drink in more detail, Joe Angliss is joined by Georgina Triniman from Bidfood’s Customer Marketing team and Fiona Speakman who is a Client Director for Food & Retail at CGA, the data research insights consultancy that specifically focus on the out of home.
