Three weeks to go until our Food & Drink Tradeshow!

This year, we’re bringing our annual event to a brand-new setting within one of Glasgow’s most iconic historic venues.

Returning for 2026, our Tradeshow will take place inside the newly restored Clydeside Market Halls at The Briggait – once Glasgow’s bustling fish market and now transformed into a contemporary events space. With its rich heritage, striking ironwork and light-filled halls, it’s the perfect backdrop for a day dedicated to our industry.

Swipe through to see a glimpse of the building’s past and present, with archive photos of the fish market in action from the 1950s through to the 1970s.

Rich Sauces, available now at Dunns.

🌞 Small Plates, Big Flavour This Summer Solstice

As the longest day of the year arrives, it’s the perfect time to embrace lighter, more shareable styles of dining, with small plates taking centre stage across summer menus ☀️

From crispy fries served with Alfee’s Tomato Ketchup and Rich Sauces Real Mayonnaise, to mini sliders layered with Rich Sauces Garlic Mayo, and golden bites paired with bold dips, it’s all about creating variety with ease 👏

Add freshness with salads finished with Alfee’s Sweet Chilli Sauce, alongside grilled vegetable skewers served with Rich Sauces Fire Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Sauce, bringing colour, balance and flavour to every plate 🥗

And for that extra depth, Rich Sauces BBQ Sauce ties everything together, delivering bold, smoky notes that elevate simple dishes into something special 🔥

With a versatile range of sauces, it’s easy to build seasonal small plate menus that are quick to execute, full of flavour and perfect for sharing 👨‍🍳✨

Squad Goals 😍

Our very own Tartan Army had a brilliant away day at the Country Range UK Global Food Fiesta in Telford.

The annual group exhibition and conference put on another winning performance, with lots of foodservice inspiration and the chance for our team to sample some of the latest innovations, all ahead of a fantastic evening together with our fellow members and amazing suppliers.

With the news revealed that the 2027 event will be coming to Glasgow, we can’t wait to welcome everyone to Scotland next year!

In this World Cup summer, we will be proudly representing Scotland at the Country Range UK Global Food Fiesta as our squad of 18 Dunns delegates hits the road to Telford this morning!

The annual group exhibition and conference offers a unique opportunity to catch up with our fellow members and supplier partners to connect, strengthen relationships, share ideas and explore the latest developments shaping our sector. This year more than ever will be a celebration of great global food and foodservice innovation.

KA PAO X ATARAXIA 🍇

Last week, we enjoyed a fantastic evening at Ka Pao Glasgow as our wine partner, Alexander Wines, welcomed Kevin Grant - founder, winemaker and viticulturist behind Ataraxia. Together, we celebrated the estate’s terroir-driven wines alongside Ka Pao’s ingredient-led Southeast Asian cooking with a special paired dinner.

Guests enjoyed a multi-course feast packed with signature Ka Pao flavours, thoughtfully paired with Ataraxia’s acclaimed wines from Hemel-en-Aarde. Known for their freshness, balance and sense of place, these are wines shaped by altitude, ocean influence and a philosophy of restraint.

A perfect pairing of exceptional food, great wines and even better company.

A huge thank you to the team at Ka Pao for hosting a brilliant evening, and to Kevin for sharing the stories behind the wines!

Chairman Jim Rowan has been busy today - covering a 52 mile cycle route on the annual Uncle Bob’s Cycle charity event.

Starting from the Manorview Group's Bowfield Hotel & Spa in Howwood the riders travelled through Lochwinnoch, Kilbirnie, Kilwinning & Ardrossan, before following the coast to Largs for lunch and then back to the Bowfield!

This year the event partnered with Hospitality Health so we were delighted to have the Dunns name feature on the cycling top that each rider wore.

Jim was also undertaking the event as part of his fundraising for our 2026 charity partners Talbot Association Ltd

Donations to Talbot Association can be made on our Just Giving page and are hugely appreciated, making a real difference to support some of the most vulnerable people in Glasgow.
