Caterersearch users are being given the opportunity to save £100 on tickets for the event, which will be held 9 June at the Millennium Mayfair hotel in London’s Grosvenor Square.

It will feature some of the biggest names in the restaurant sector sharing their thoughts and tips on how to survive the recession.
