Extraordinary venues connected by world-class food
Did you know that 42% of all feedback about an event relates to the food served? Food is, after all, what everyone loves to talk about. That’s why, at Lime Venue Portfolio, we go above and beyond to connect organisers to exquisite food that complements their event.
We’re proud to be part of Compass Group PLC, a global and successful FTSE 100 company and the UK’s leading food and support services provider.
Every Lime Venue Portfolio venue is catered for by some of Compass Group’s incredible sub-sectors, including Levy UK, RA Group, Jockey Club Catering, The Venues Collection, Payne & Gunter and Chartwells. By working side-by-side with our fellow sub-sector brands, we’re able to deliver taste experiences that exceed all expectations at every event.
Food is our passion. It’s what brings our brands together. Find out more about our award-winning catering partners below.
