Creative Taste Wins Greenwich Park Catering Contract

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Creative Taste has been awarded a 5 year contract to provide catering at Greenwich Park's cafés and kiosks.

From 7th November, Creative will be operating The Pavilion Café, The White House Bakery and three kiosks in the oldest enclosed Royal Park which dates back to 1427.

Along with complete makeovers which will include improved lighting and seating, all areas will benefit from a new focus on fantastic British catering and local produce at its best, with abundant displays of delicious food changing throughout the day to suit the customers needs.

Having had the pleasure of working with The Royal Parks previously at a number of events in Regents Park and Hyde Park, where this Christmas brings our 7th year at Winter Wonderland, we are really looking forward to the prospect of growing our relationship over the coming years.  

We look forward to welcoming you all to Park in the next few months!

'In the Picture' at Dulwich Picture Gallery

A beautiful, dry evening set the tone for a fantastic night at Dulwich Picture Gallery last week where Creative Taste celebrated the success of our new partnership with the Gallery.  The Café, which was relaunched in June after its makeover (see previous blog!) has already seen a 60% increase in sales against the two previous years.  

Guests at 'In the Picture' enjoyed plenty of our Chapel Down English Sparking wine and seasonal cocktails, wonderful canapés served on picture frames, music from the Wandering Hands Trio and speeches from both Ian Dejardin, Gallery Director and our own John Uphill, Operations Director.

After an exclusive tour of the current exhibition 'A Crisis of Brilliance', guests even had a chance to create some of their own art whilst enjoying a delicious selection of savoury bowls from our autumn menu.  A raffle which raised money for Dulwich Helpline provided the opportunity to win some fantastic raffles prizes including a much-coveted Mulberry handbag.  

The event was wrapped up with a stunning artists palette dessert - with edible paintbrush to dip into colourful tasty paints and goody bags to take home with samples from some of our local suppliers.

Thanks to all who came and made it such a success - enjoy the photos and some of the great press below!!
