Social Pantry has announced two new exclusive venue partnerships with the City of London corporation. From September Social Pantry will deliver catering at The Central Criminal Court – Old Bailey – and Mansion House.
These partnerships follow on from other new City of London Corporation tender-wins as well as being appointed as the exclusive caterer for Tower Bridge earlier this year.
Being caterer for both Mansion House and The Central Criminal Court, Social Pantry will be managing all aspects of the catering within these venues. This includes internal cafés and eateries accessible only to members of the court, as well as official state functions that are regularly held at these London landmarks. Across both new venues, Social Pantry will be managing a total of 13 unique catering concepts, which founder Alex Head and the team will be leading with their sustainability-first approach.
Alex Head, Founder and CEO of Social Pantry said of the news: “We are so excited to be adding The Old Bailey and Mansion House, two more City of London Corporation venues to our exclusive catering partnerships alongside Tower Bridge which we launched in the Spring. The team at Social Pantry are really looking forward to putting these iconic venues on the map for events as well as running the in-house catering at The Old Bailey.”
From its commitment to employ more prison leavers year on year, to utilising zero-waste initiatives, and creating menus that focus on nose-to-tail and root-to-flower dishes, Social Pantry strives to deliver exceptional quality service and events at minimal social and environmental cost.
Menus are seasonal and globally inspired yet locally sourced, working with incredible suppliers that align with Social Pantry’s ethos.
Alongside sustainable food suppliers, Social Pantry also works with a number of other brands and partners that ensure the business can reduce its ecological impact to a minimum in areas such as waste management, transport and more. Working with trusted suppliers, the team devises beautiful, creative events for their clients that never compromise the important social and ecological pledges made by founder Alex Head and the team.
Chairman of the City of London Corporation’s Finance Committee, Henry Colthurst said: We are pleased to be working with Social Pantry. Many organisations use our venues for evening and weekend events. Outstanding catering is a key attraction of those venues. The Square Mile enjoys a unique history and culture, encompassing some of the country’s most iconic buildings, including the Mansion House and the Central Criminal Court. From our markets and cultural icons to our world-famous bridges and much enjoyed green spaces, we are proud to be stewards of unique national assets.”
Social Pantry, currently working with over 70 venues across London and the UK.
