Eventist Group will mobilise each of its four catering and hospitality brands to bring to life RHS Chelsea Flower Show. A focus on sustainability will be reflected through Eventist’s use of food and drink.
Acclaimed chef Skye Gyngell will partner with Alison Price & Company, Eventist’s luxe food and event design brand, as chef patron of Spring Garden at Chelsea. It is a ‘beautifully styled dining experience’ for intimate and private clients.
Another of Eventist’s catering brands Zafferano will cater the opening Gala evening for over 5,000 guests. Food by Dish will manage the Ranelagh restaurant and vibrant Champagne and Seafood restaurant, as well as providing afternoon teas in the Drawing Room.
Tapenade will be raising the standards of retail catering with inspired menus and designs in the Thames View and Rock Bank restaurants and also catering for exhibitors and media hospitality.
Tim Stevens, chief executive and founder of Eventist Group, commented: “It was always our long-term plan to win major sporting and social events with a proactive collaboration between our four fabulous catering brands.
“We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded this incredible event which is one of the crown jewels in the event catering world. While RHS Chelsea Flower Show is steeped in history, we are all looking to create a new tradition and a real legacy around sustainability in partnership with the RHS.
“The size and scope of the Show offers exciting opportunities for all four of our catering brands to showcase their creative flair, wonderful teams, and beautiful food. Our work is already underway with menus being planned, logistics and staffing requirements being honed and the creative design and styling of our restaurants and bars being finalised.’’
