Amadeus Food
With a kitchen boasting over 650 industry awards, it’s fair to say the Amadeus catering team know what’s required to deliver daring menus for every dietary requirement and budget imaginable.
We’re part of the NEC Group and we work with venues and event organisers who want to provide visitors with a unique and memorable food experience. Consideration and innovation is evident on every plate. Whether that’s sustainably sourcing local produce, scrutinising nutritional values or adding a little live theatre to table service.
Our customer portfolio includes serving four million visitors per year at five world-class NEC Group venues as well as top external events, including six major international sporting tournaments, and venues, including Cadbury World and Stratford Racecourse. We also operate three Starbucks franchise outlets in addition to managing outlets for retail partners from Subway to JD Wetherspoon.
