Restaurant Associates partners with chef Jason Atherton

Atherton commented on the partnership: "This partnership with Restaurant Associates is a great opportunity for me to bring my style of cooking and the influences I have gained from around the globe to the corporate dining market. "Restaurant Associates' commitment to providing the highest quality fresh ingredients that are fully traceable fits perfectly with my focus on food quality and provenance and I look forward to working in partnership with the team to help create a modern, fresh approach for its customers and clients." Nick Potter, managing director, Restaurant Associates, added: "Restaurant Associates has a long-standing reputation for delivering only the very best through its high quality food, exceptional people and excellent service and we believe Jason's experience and approach to dining is the perfect match. "As a business we are constantly evolving to meet the needs and expectations of our market-leading portfolio of prestigious high-profile clients. Jason will play a key role in helping us to continue to develop and improve our corporate and public facing dining offers and we are thrilled to have him on board." Atherton has recently opened his first independent restaurant, Table No 1 by Jason Atherton at the Waterhouse at South Bund hotel in Shanghai. This will be closely followed by the opening of his second independent venture later this year. Restaurant Associates provides its services to legal and professional firms, leading banks and financial services companies. In addition, the group operates a number of leading public restaurants.
