Today sees the return of Sodexo Live! at the world-renowned Henley Royal Regatta where it will provide hospitality services for around 3,000 guests over the course of the next six days.
The Regatta, which is back in its traditional place in the summer season for the first time since 2019 after being cancelled in 2020 and moved to August last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, attracts thousands of visitors who will be entertained by over 300 races of an international standard, and includes Olympic rowers as well as crews new to the event.
Since 2013, Sodexo Live! has worked with Henley Royal Regatta to provide world-class experiences in food and hospitality. This year, Sodexo will deliver all hospitality for the event across the Fawley Meadows Restaurant, Riverside Chalets, private dining in Temple Island and a brand-new hospitality experience at the Fawley Meadows Lounge.
Rebecca Kane Burton, CEO Sodexo Live! UK and Ireland, said: “Henley Royal Regatta is one of the most prestigious events in the sporting and social calendar and it’s great to be back at full-scale. As we celebrate the Platinum Jubilee this summer, we can’t wait to partner with Henley to deliver exceptional fine dining for this quintessentially British event.”
Daniel Grist, Chief Executive, Henley Royal Regatta, added: “We very look forward to welcoming guests back to Fawley Meadows this year. It’s wonderful to be hosting a full-scale event once again and with a record number of crew entries, it’s sure to be an incredible atmosphere on and off the river.”
Sodexo Live! is behind several major events this summer, providing culinary experiences at Royal Ascot and the RHS Chelsea Flower Show as well as at amazing venues such as Newcastle United, Hampden Park in Glasgow, and the iconic River Thames cruise Bateaux London.
