Company of Cooks merges with Venues by CH&CO

The merger will see the businesses trade under the Company of Cooks name, specialising in catering and hospitality for visitor attractions and cultural venues.

The new business has operations at venues including The Royal Opera House, Royal Academy of Arts, Southbank Centre, RSA House, Old Royal Naval College, Royal College of Physicians, Historic Royal Palaces and Royal Botanic Gardens, and Kew.

“The bringing together of Company of Cooks and Venues by CH&CO makes perfect sense,” says Rob Fredrickson, managing director at Company of Cooks.

“Both businesses have a reputation for brilliant food, drink and service and uniting them is the obvious next step in creating a leisure catering and hospitality brand that reflects our shared focus and strong values. Uniting the team and reimagining the brand has been incredibly exciting.

“Our teams are enthusiastic, professional yet personal, with an amazing eye for detail. We look forward to delighting our clients and customers across our portfolio of wonderful venues.”
