Big Event Food Survey 2025 – Lime Venue Portfolio wants your views

Are you passionate about food as part of the event experience? Lime Venue Portfolio has launched the Big Event Food Survey 2025, a research project designed to explore how food continues to influence, and elevate, corporate events.

The survey will represent another year of data on food and events, and will track changing attitudes and tastes within events and amongst delegates.

Food remains a defining part of events, and the survey returns in 2025 to look at how industry habits are changing. It examines the choices behind event menus, the growing focus on sustainability and inclusion, and how food can make experiences more memorable and meaningful for delegates.

The results are always fascinating, often revealing just how central food is to the delegate experience. Previous research showed that around 45% of all event feedback relates to food, a rise from previous years. The findings from this year’s study will once again be made freely available to the industry, providing valuable insight into how organisers, venues, and caterers can continue to raise standards across the sector.

Open to organisers, venues, caterers and suppliers, the survey looks at feedback patterns, budgeting priorities, plant-based trends, food waste and sustainability. It also delves into changing attitudes toward inclusion and dietary choice, providing a detailed picture of where the sector stands and where it’s heading.
