Drink

Tate is renowned for its multi award winning wine cellar and has been since the opening of the restaurant at Tate Britain in 1974. As part of Tate, Tate Catering has unrestricted access to this fantastic resource and the advice of Tate's sommelier, Hamish Anderson, who wrote the food and wine matching bible Vino.

Our wine list contains over three-hundred wines and has won numerous awards for its diversity and above all value. Unlike many companies who simply use one supplier, Tate uses over fifty and as a result we are able to offer an unrivalled selection of wine for your event.

Wine is an increasingly appreciated product and from experience we know that guests are increasingly interested in the wine served at events. We believe that a well chosen, interesting bottle is a key feature in making your event, stand out from all the rest.

In addition, Tate Catering is pleased to offer a range of alcoholic, low-alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks and cocktails that vary from the most traditional cocktail, to more eclectic Mango Bellinis. Soft drinks feature strongly on our list and we offer a range of fruit presses, frappes and coolers.
