📣 There’s still time to take part in our 2026 Stir it up Readers’ Survey!
We know the foodservice market isn’t getting any easier. That’s why it’s important to us that Stir it up earns its place in your kitchen. Whether you’re in hospitality, education or the care sector, everything we produce should be practical, relevant and worth your time.
The 2026 Readers’ Survey gives us a clearer understanding of who you are, the pressures you’re under, and the kind of support, advice and inspiration that will genuinely make a difference in your day-to-day role. In a market that continues to challenge from every angle, that insight matters more than ever.
Your feedback drives real change. From cost-saving ideas and staff retention support to food trends and sustainability, your input has directly influenced the features we’ve introduced and the topics we prioritise within our magazine, trend and sector guides.
Thanks to last year’s survey, we learned that:
✨ 80% of readers are influenced by our monthly Stir it up promotions
✨ The biggest trends for 2025/2026 are street food, healthy eating, vegan concepts, pistachio flavours and sustainability
✨ You wanted more advice around allergens, menu planning, budgeting and industry trends
✨ And most importantly… recipes, recipes, recipes - you wanted full details, so we’ve focused on including more full recipes within the magazine
Your opinions genuinely drive change, helping us create content that supports your business, sparks inspiration and keeps you ahead of the curve.
🕒 The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and is open until 30th June.
🎉 Plus, every completed survey will be entered into our prize draw:
🥇 1st Prize – £300 to spend with us
🥈 2nd Prize – £200 to spend with us
🥉 3rd Prize – £100 to spend with us
