Talking food with Bidfood

Wider social trends continue to reveal the shifts in consumer attitudes, behaviours and lifestyles, showing how economic, social and sustainable influences are changing how we think, how we make decisions and how we act.

To understand how these five wider social trends are going to influence food service for 2021, Joe Angliss is joined by Lucy Pedrick who heads up Bidfood’s Insight team, and also Laura Gillespie who is an Insights Director at the global insights agency, Kokora.

Without being able to get together or to share food and drinks with others, we’re seeking out new ways to enjoy a treat, and to lift ourselves and those immediately around us out of the monotony of isolation or restrictions. The nation has been experimenting with new recipes, techniques and flavours, always wanting our food and drink to be top quality.  We’re seeing home-baked sweet or savoury delicacies, through to locally produced flavoured beers or spirits, to create a well-earned element of indulgence.

To take a deep dive into the trend to find out how this will impact menus, our host Joe Angliss is joined by Georgina Triniman and Gemma Benford from Bidfood’s Customer Marketing team to go through it.
