Indian restaurants Tamarind and The Cinnamon Club have been chosen to provide hospitality and catering at Lord's Cricket Ground.

The two London-based restaurants, overseen by Rajesh Suri and Vivek Singh respectively have been added to the north London sports ground's list of preferred suppliers and will be available to cater at meetings and events alongside Lord's on-site caterers.

Lords said the Asian restaurants were chosen to supply catering to reflect the international matches being played at Lord's this summer, including the 1st npower Test vs. India, which concludes today. The ground also hosts a concession stand run by Café Spice on major match days.

Preferred suppliers

Nick Kenton, Lord’s meetings and events sales manager, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tamarind and The Cinnamon Club to our list of preferred suppliers. We are noted for our food offering; from the concessions in the ground and corporate hospitality offering to the high-profile events we host in the Pavilion and therefore we have strived hard to work with the best suppliers.

"The summer season is looking buoyant across all sectors of our business, from corporate hospitality at the internationals and private boxes at domestic Twenty20 evening matches through to conferences and weddings in the ground.”

Tradition

Rajesh Suri, chief executive of Mayfair's Tamarind, whose restaurant team will also make up picnic hampers for match-goers who want them, said: “Lord’s is very much a pinnacle in the sports sector and we are thrilled to have been appointed as a preferred caterer for Indian food. We are excited at this chance to make a lasting culinary contribution to the world renowned ‘Home of Cricket’.”

Vivek Singh, executive chef at The Cinnamon Club, said he was 'delighted' to be linked to such an institution synonymous 'not just with tradtion, but excellence and innovation'.

"We will endeavour to make every guest’s trip to Lord’s a memorable one, serving our renowned modern Indian cuisine, using the freshest, seasonal ingredients and spices. Little else beats a Roast rack of lamb with saffron sauce in the Long Room," he said.
