Showcasing those essential products and ingredients that are no longer just a flash in the pan, but now a solid menu mainstay
With health, wellbeing and specific dietary needs being increasingly important to the modern customer, many alternative products and ingredients are no longer a nice afterthought - they are well and truly a mainstream consideration for food providers across the country.
Alternative to Mainstream magazine launched in 2023, showcasing trends, topics and profiling the key product launches and developments in this fast moving category to continue to satisfy and delight the consumer demand.
Published once a year in November, the title covers these product groups:
Meat-Free / Plant-Based
No Dairy
Vegetarian
Functional Food & Drinks
Free From
Sustainable Packaging
Ethical
Waste Management
Mindful Drinking
Proximity Purchasing
In addition to the magazine, there is a Quarterly Digital Focus e-newsletter which is published four times a year, homing in on some of the key topics mentioned above. What’s more, it is replicated across six of our key hospitality and foodservice websites on the Main Menu feature for one week giving an even bigger reach! These websites include: Pub & Bar, Dine Out, Out of Home, Contract Catering, Garden Centre Catering and Care Home Catering. Click here to find out more on e-newsletter sponsorship opportunities.
