What exhibitors need to know about food and drink on your stand
All stand and hospitality catering at Excel London is delivered exclusively by our in-house partner, Excel London Hospitality (ELH) — from daily crew food to drinks receptions and client hosting. Exhibitors are not permitted to bring in their own alcohol, soft drinks or catering, and all food and beverage served at receptions, parties or meetings must be provided through ELH.
Ordering Stand Catering
Fuel your team and impress your clients with food and drink delivered directly to your stand. ELH offers a wide range of snacks, meals and hospitality packages — all made with seasonal ingredients and tailored to your needs.
Whether it’s barista coffee and pastries in the morning or drinks and canapés for an afternoon reception, the ELH team can help you create a seamless hospitality experience.
Visit the Excel London Hospitality website or contact the team directly to explore menus and discuss your requirements.
Food Safety & Legal Requirements
All food and drink consumed onsite must be purchased from ELH or the venue’s retail outlets — with the exception of food or drink brought onsite for personal consumption. This is essential to ensure compliance with UK Food Safety Standards and Law, and to protect public health across the event.
Sampling Guidelines
Food and drink sampling is permitted only under the following conditions:
All sampling activity must follow Excel London’s approved food safety protocols. Please download the 2025 Food & Beverage Sampling Guidelines for full details.
➡ Exhibitors must obtain written permission from both the organiser and the venue before offering samples, and be prepared to show all necessary documentation onsite for inspection and audit.
