Tate Catering: By Tate for Tate
Tate Catering is an innovative catering company providing top quality catering for all the Tate galleries as well as 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 is working with gallery colleagues and all our suppliers to develop an active sustainability policy. We strongly believe in sourcing the best produce possible and place importance on building and developing strong relationships with regional suppliers. We were recently awarded a “Good Egg Award” from Compassion in World Farming for our use of free-range and cage free eggs in our business. We use production kitchens at Tate Modern to produce sandwiches, salads and homemade cakes for the London galleries. Fish for our London sites is sourced and delivered everyday from Newlyn, Cornwall where we work with a team of Cornish fishermen who catch only sustainable British fish. Our vegetables are sourced 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. Cheeses are managed by industry professionals 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 believes in sourcing quality products for the drinks offered to visitors at Tate too. Whether it is the illy coffee, Jing 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.
