Jestic announced as Gold Sponsors of The Universal Cookery and Food Festival
Jestic Foodservice Solutions is delighted to be Gold Sponsor of this year’s Universal Cookery and Food Festival, or UCFF. Dubbed the ‘Glastonbury for chefs’, UCFF is the ultimate food experience, designed by chefs for chefs, and alongside the event sponsorship, Jestic will also once again be responsible for the on-site delegate catering equipment including a fantastic barbecue extravaganza for more than 400 guests!
Hosted at a different “quirky and foodcentric” venue each year, September’s Universal Cookery and Food Festival will be held at Loddington Farm in Kent – very close to Jestic’s Paddock Wood development kitchen and HQ. The hugely popular event provides a unique opportunity for professionals across the entire foodservice industry to network – from local producers, foragers and growers, to suppliers, chefs and some of the industry’s top inside influencers and colleagues.
Every year there is a wide range of exciting events for attendees to engage in throughout the day, and this year is no different. Boasting an incredible lineup of chef demonstrations, foraging, farm tours and live panel debates, the Festival is also introducing an exciting new feature for 2024 – The Staff Canteen Live Stage, featuring top of the line equipment supplied by Jestic.
Regarding the UCFF sponsorship, Jestic’s Product Director Michael Eyre comments:
“Over the years, we have attended UCFF a number of times, and it’s always an event we look forward to on the calendar. We truly believe that it provides a unique and fantastic opportunity for staff, at every level, across the sector to come together when they might not otherwise have the opportunity to do so. With a range of fantastic speakers, food and demonstrations, it’s a real feast for the senses so we are delighted to go beyond providing food for the event but also to support it one step further as Gold Sponsors.”
As exclusive distributors of some of the industry’s finest catering equipment brands for almost 20 years, Jestic is delighted to be supporting such a well-renowned event as Gold Sponsors. The company will be showcasing a range of premium equipment brands from Mibrasa to Moduline, Alfa and more.

Throughout the day, the Jestic Culinary team will be supporting Alan Paton in cooking up a storm for guests to enjoy, as well as finishing the day off with a delicious BBQ, allowing attendees to participate in a final networking event, washed down with local beer while listening to live music.
