The exclusive catering and event management company Tapenade, part of the Eventist Group, returned to the Royal International Air Tattoo Show for the seventh year last week (14th to 16th July).
Taking place at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, it is the world’s largest military event, attracting over 150,000 visitors from around the globe.
Tapenade, who have catered at RIAT since 2011, provided hospitality for around 6,000 VIP guests at 24 exclusive chalets. Among the offering was a breakfast menu of exotic fruit platters and pastries, traditional afternoon tea, a hot buffet lunch, fruits de mer and iced charcuterie stations. All menus had a focus on fresh regional produce, and were overseen by Tapenade’s executive chef, John Hearn. High profile guests this year included the world renowned Red Arrows team.
Tim Stevens, Managing Director of Eventist Group, says: “We were delighted to be back at one of the UK’s premier outdoor events, catering for patrons and corporate guests. The Air Tattoo not only provides an amazing aviation experience in the skies but also fantastic entertainment on the ground, bringing together representatives from across the industry in a relaxed and informal environment.”

The brand is flexible in its offering, providing services across large or small corporate, private and consumer functions, yet maintains a high level of quality and creativity whatever the event brief.
