We’ve just wrapped up three days at the TUCO Summer Conference, and it was a great one to be part of.
What is TUCO?
TUCO (The University Caterers Organisation) is the professional body for catering teams across universities, colleges and the wider public sector. We’re proud to be one of their approved framework suppliers, on the list universities and colleges turn to first when choosing a foodservice wholesaler.
About the Summer Conference
The conference ran Monday 27th to Wednesday 29th July at Edge Hill University, bringing together catering managers, procurement leads and heads of catering from universities and colleges right across the country. Alongside the exhibition, there was a full speaker programme too, including MasterChef judge Monica Galetti and The Hotel Inspector’s Alex Polizzi.
Hundreds of catering teams came through the doors over the three days, and plenty of them stopped by the Dunsters Farm stand for a proper chat with our sales team.
Our team talked through fresh seasonal lines and what’s new on our ranges, and the sort of detail that never quite fits in an email: how we handle sustainability across our depots and fleet, the social value built into our contracts, and what supporting local communities actually looks like for a family-owned wholesaler like ours. The sales team chatted with a host of catering professionals – some we already supply, some we’d not met before.
A big thanks to all those who came along to the event and stopped by our stand, also to the organisers and other suppliers who made it a buzzing & engaging 3-day event – check out some of the pics from TUCO Summer 2026 below…
