An indoor food and drink show at the SEC in Glasgow, held as part of the Ideal Home Show Scotland.

The Eat & Drink Festival is the food section of the Ideal Home Show Scotland at the SEC in Glasgow, billed by the organisers as Scotland's favourite indoor food festival. Celebrity chefs and experts give demonstrations and tips, and visitors can shop from independent artisan producers, street-food vendors, mixologists and larger food and drink brands.

It runs over four days around the late May bank holiday. Scotland Food & Drink, which runs a producer presence at the show, says it draws more than 30,000 visitors a year.
