Creative Taste wins £3.8m Dulwich Picture Gallery catering deal

Creative Taste has won a six-year catering contract at Dulwich Picture Gallery worth £3.8m.

The heritage and visitor attractions division of caterer Creativevents will operate the gallery's café as well as event hospitality at the venue as part of the deal.

Adrian Willson, Creative Taste managing director, described the win as a fantastic opportunity for the caterer, adding: We launched a dedicated website at the beginning of the year and this is our first contract win under the new branding and subsequent partnership with Mitie Group."

Facilities management firm Mitie bought a majority stake in Creativevents last August.

Plans for Dulwich Picture Gallery, the first public art gallery in England, include a ‘pop up' Garden Café during the summer months.

Creative Taste also aims to work with the Gallery's Friends, the local community, to develop the weddings, corporate and social occasions' business.
