Rhubarb Hospitality appointed catering partner for Camden’s Town Hall
The project is expected to generate £100m in direct revenue for the London Borough of Camden throughout the contract and more than 200 full-time jobs
Rhubarb Hospitality Collection has been appointed by international events company, Bottaccio, to be the official catering partner for its new London venue set to open in Camden’s historic Town Hall under a 30-year contract.
The 55,000 sq ft project follows an extensive seven-year refurbishment and will see the landmark re-open in Winter 2024 as an event venue with “modern” coworking amenities and conference facilities, all designed by British icon Tom Dixon.
The Town Hall will feature three event spaces, including one of the largest in London: the Vision Hall, with a soaring 13-metre-high ceiling and a capacity for up to 900 guests; the Inner Space, a contemporary blank-canvas space with a 500-guest capacity; and The Network, an “adaptable” and “luxurious” conference floor for up to 250 delegates with modular walls and “latest” technology.
The project is expected to generate £100m in direct revenue for the London Borough of Camden throughout the contract and more than 200 full-time jobs.
Additionally, free memberships, event space usage, and apprenticeship and work placement opportunities will be available specifically for the local community.
As the accredited caterer at over 60 venues across London, New York City, The Hamptons and Berlin, Rhubarb Hospitality Collection’s expert team will provide “quality” catering and service throughout the venue, including its pioneering coworking offer with three dining spaces and multiple bars.
Bespoke menus will be curated according to each event, from three-course fine-dining in the Vision Hall to cocktails and tasting plates in the Inner Space and breakfasts in The Network.
Ensuring a no-waste ethos, the venue will partner with the Felix Project to redistribute excess food to those in need across the capital.
P.B Jacobse, CEO, Rhubarb Hospitality Collection, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Bottaccio on this exciting project. The Town Hall offers a selection of dynamic and architecturally remarkable spaces, in the heart of London. We pride ourselves on bringing something new and creative to every event, so we’re thrilled by the endless opportunities for events in this restored landmark building.”
Joseph D’Anna, CEO of the Bottaccio Group, added: “Rhubarb Hospitality Collection has a proven track record in delivering exceptional results at top-tier events. We are thrilled to have them on board as our catering partner and can’t wait for our guests to experience food and drink by Rhubarb in what promises to be a truly exceptional events space and dynamic social hub.”
