Tender opportunity: Britannia Leisure Centre café, London

GLL is seeking an experienced, creative, professional catering operator to deliver a commercially successful café in the brand new, state-of-the-art Britannia Leisure Centre, located adjacent to Shoreditch Park in the heart of London's Hoxton.

In addition to providing a high-quality service with great-value product options, a key outcome also sought by this expression of interest is to provide meaningful opportunity to the community – whether through employment, social inclusion, economic or environmental benefits.

This exciting and unique opportunity demands a strong emphasis on customer experience, innovative product options and the ability to meet the needs of leisure centre customers, park users and local residents. The entire space, including kitchen, servery and seating area, is 300 sq m and alongside outdoor eating areas is expected to provide up to 100 covers.

As there is insufficient kitchen infrastructure to produce food from raw ingredients, it is anticipated the operator will prepare food off-site for daily delivery. Full details of the kitchen fit out are outlined in the ITT.

To express interest in this fantastic opportunity in one of the UK's flagship leisure centres, please email britannia.cafe@gll.org by 2 April 2021.
