Amadeus wins Coventry Cathedral catering contract
The deal includes opening and running a new cafe on site - Cloisters - which will serve coffee and lunches throughout the year, as well as supplying catering for a number of private and public events, from weddings and corporate meetings to the cathedral's annual Flower Festival.
Amadeus, which recently won the contract to be sole provider of catering at Stoneleigh Abbey in Kenilworth, said it was looking forward to supplying 'great food in a fantastic venue' in what it considered 'another great partnership' for the company.
Jane Woodward, executive director of Coventry Cathedral, said she had been impressed by the company's approach to the contract.
“We’re delighted to be working with Amadeus. They are an award-winning team who inspired us with their approach, their ideas and their passion for what they do. And, with more than 35 years experience catering at some of the country’s top venues, we’re confident we’re in good hands, where together we will develop a really great catering offer for our guests, visitors and congregation.”
Famously bombed in the Second World War, the ruins of the previous 14th Century Gothic cathedral now sit alongside the new St. Michael’s Cathedral, which attracts 34,000 visitors each year.
As well as catering at a number of historic venues in the Midlands, Amadeus has contracts to supply catering at Coventry Transport Museum and the National Sea Life Centre.
The company will also deliver catering at a number of events at the Olympic Park North this summer for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
