The UK hospitality sector is under pressure. Rising costs, changing consumer expectations and economic uncertainty are reshaping the way operators do business.
But with challenge comes opportunity. Our Creed Trends Report 2026 dives into the biggest shifts in foodservice, from evolving customer behaviours to the trends driving innovation across pubs, cafés, restaurants, and even healthcare and education catering. This year’s macro theme, Accept the Challenge, reflects the need for operators to adapt, empathise, and energise in order to continue to cater to their target consumers.
