Following their contract win last year and subsequent £150,000 investment the kitchen has been refurbished and the café space has been restyled. One of the deciding factors in choosing Seasoned as the new catering partner was their ongoing commitment to using local suppliers from within a 30-mile radius.
Graham Turner, managing partner of venues at Seasoned, said: “The critical choice within any retail outlet has to be a great locally roasted coffee. We are partnering with Edgcumbes coffee roasters and tea merchants based in Arundel who have created a unique blend especially for Cloisters Kitchen & Garden.
“This is the starting point which all else is based. Our talented team led by Lorraine Sneller are cooking delicious fresh food on site daily including the fabulous cakes, pastry and desserts from our chef Georgina Bouchala.”
The location of this site allows Seasoned to extend their relationship with charity, Fare Share Sussex who welcome left over food and redistribute to those in need in the area.
Acting Dean of Chichester The Right Reverend Graeme Knowles, added: “With Seasoned on board we are confident that the Cloisters Kitchen & Garden will be a fantastic dining destination, providing a warm welcome for the Chichester community and visitors to our great city.”
