Fine Food Australia 2026 was an exciting few days for the Phoeniks team, and we are proud to look back on a successful event filled with new connections, great conversations and some of the latest innovations in commercial kitchen and foodservice equipment.
Held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from 31st August to 3rd September, Fine Food Australia brought together foodservice, hospitality and industry professionals from across Australia. For Phoeniks, it was a fantastic opportunity to meet customers face to face, demonstrate our equipment and showcase the brands and solutions we work with every day.
A record response at the Phoeniks stand
Our stand experienced record attendance throughout the event, with a constant flow of visitors interested in exploring our equipment, discussing upcoming projects and discovering solutions for their businesses.
One of the highlights was having representatives from our leading supplier brands on the stand alongside the Phoeniks sales team throughout the show. Their knowledge and first-hand product expertise added significant value to conversations with visitors, allowing customers to speak directly with specialists and gain a deeper understanding of the equipment on display.
From commercial cooking and frying solutions to food transport, meal distribution and mobile equipment, the stand demonstrated the breadth of solutions available through Phoeniks.

More than equipment: Real conversations with industry professionals
For us, Fine Food Australia is about more than displaying equipment.
It is about understanding what businesses are looking for, listening to the challenges faced by chefs, kitchen designers, hospitality operators and foodservice professionals, and finding practical solutions that meet those needs.
Having our supplier partners present alongside the Phoeniks team made those conversations even more valuable. Visitors could ask detailed questions, explore equipment in person and gain insights directly from the people who know the products best.
The strong response throughout the event reinforced the importance of bringing equipment, suppliers and customers together in one place.
