Who we are

We’re the only specialist organisation for independent food & drink businesses in the UK and have been supporting our members to be safe, legal and profitable for over 30 years.

What we do

We provide you with an account manager, ongoing support, legal documentation, professional services, training courses, work opportunities and exclusive discounts to ensure you save time and money when it comes to running and making your business a success.

We’re always working on developing, supporting and growing our sector and have a range of training courses and services that can help you along the way.

 

Industry Insights

We are always looking for new ways to support the independent hospitality sector. We are collecting information from our members and the wider industry on issues that you may be currently facing such as the continuing increase in the cost of living and the impact of staff shortages on hospitality businesses. 

Help us to help you by completing our short survey which will then be fed back to government at both local and national levels.

Who we

work with

From associations across the food and events sector to festivals, Government bodies and  Street Food collectives, we are part of a network that works together with one aim in mind – to support you; our members. 

Caterers

You are at the heart of everything we do.

Government

Working with Government means that we’re ahead of the curve when it comes to changes that could affect our members and most importantly, we are able to protect your interests through our lobbying work. 

The Events Industry 

From festival and event associations to event organisers, concession companies and suppliers, we’re here to bridge that gap and raise the profile of our sector within the events mix.

EHOs and Local Authority departments across the UK trust NCASS to promote best practice and make their jobs as easy as possible when it comes to inspections and getting the information they need.
