Freemans Event Partners Hits Lord’s For Six To Win Accredited Workforce Culinary Contract
FEP has signed a multi‑year contract with MCC, that will see it providing more than 2,000 meals on matchdays throughout the cricket season.
An addition to the existing partnership for which FEP delivers food and beverage to more than 250,000 spectators every year, the new accredited workforce culinary contract will cover the preparation and delivery of a range of hot dining meal options such as lemon & thyme chicken, chilli con carne, vegetarian Thai green curry and many more to the iconic cricket ground’s workforce at more than 12 matches this season.
The new contract will be in place for all fixtures at the ground, including all London Spirit home matches and the finals day of The Hundred, as well as England’s ODI against New Zealand in September. A team of FEP chefs will freshly prepare and cook up to three meals a day for employees, providing a different menu each matchday, that caters to all allergies and preferences.
The agreement with Lord’s is part of FEP’s culinary division expansion across accredited workforce dining with a range of event clients, including Twickenham Stadium, the upcoming Major League Baseball London Series at the London Stadium and the Burghley Horse Trials.
Mark Bodley, Head of Catering at Freemans Event Partners, said: “We’re delighted to be developing our existing relationship with MCC beyond our current spectator offer. We’re keen to expand our offering across the entire matchday experience to include the teams behind the scenes, and we’re incredibly proud to be working with such an iconic venue at Lord’s Cricket Ground. The bespoke menu has been specially crafted by our team of chefs who will oversee its deployment throughout the season.”
James De Groot, Chief F&B Officer at MCC, said: “We’ve been very impressed with the quality and range of food and drink provided by Freemans Event Partners to spectators in recent years and wanted to replicate this for staff. We’re very pleased to expand our partnership so that our workforce will also benefit from their top‑class food provision on busy major match days.
