Tate Catering: By Tate for Tate
Tate Catering is an innovative catering company providing culinary expertise to the catering facilities at Tate Britain and a range of UK venues and events. Tate Catering is a division of Tate Enterprises, reports direct to Tate's Board of Trustees and is proud that every penny of profit is returned to support the work of Tate. Being part of Tate means that our staff are inspired by art every day.
Tate Catering strongly believes in sourcing the best produce possible and place importance on building and developing strong relationships with regional suppliers. Fish is sourced and delivered everyday from Newlyn, Cornwall. Vegetables come from recommended farmers to ensure the sustainability of the raw ingredients. Tate Catering also works with high profile producers from across the country to deliver the best meats possible. The team of bakers uses only the finest French and English flours and no additives or preservatives. Cheeses are managed by Neal's Yard Dairy who use their unique knowledge to source the finest cheeses from small producers and then store and ripen them so that we buy cheese at its best. Tate Catering has also developed a network of suppliers in Europe to help source high quality sustainable produce from small artisan producers.
Tate Catering believes in sourcing quality products for the drinks offered to visitors at Tate too. Whether it is the Illy coffee, fresh leaf teas or Belvoir cordial we strive to provide the best quality drinks possible. Our smoothies are made fresh on site, our apple juice is freshly pressed on a farm in Gloucestershire and we have close associations with small independent breweries to ensure that our beers are to the high standard that our visitors expect.
Tate Catering believes that service is of paramount importance and aims to be the best catering facility within a gallery in the world. We believe in providing excellent customer service and a welcoming environment for visitors. Through a positive and professional approach to work we aim to exceed the expectations of our customers wherever possible.
