Luxury London-based events caterer Blue Strawberry has secured a coveted multi-year contract with IMG, delivering the exclusive King’s VIP Dining Experience at the Hampton Court Palace Festival.
Taking place from 11 – 21 June 2024, this year will mark the 28th season of the iconic open-air concert series. The star-studded line-up features global headliners including Tom Jones, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Sheryl Crow and Deacon Blue.
As one of the Historic Royal Palaces (HRP)’s accredited partners across the entire estate, Blue Strawberry has drawn on its extensive experience delivering world-class events in the 500-year-old Palace. The King’s VIP Dining Experience offers a lavish three-course dinner with paired wines, served in Henry VIII’s magnificent Great Hall.
Stuart Jenkins, Managing Director of Blue Strawberry, comments: “The King’s VIP Dining Experience is the epitome of opulence. While being immersed in the royal splendour of the Great Hall, guests will enjoy an indulgent menu curated by our menu design team. We’re incredibly proud that IMG and HRP have entrusted us to deliver this unparalleled event experience for the next three years and hopefully beyond.”
Utilising the season’s finest British produce and inspired by the spectacular surroundings, menu highlights include ‘The Allotment’ – based on the quintessential Catalan pairing, and native breed ‘Tudor court beef’.
Vanessa Griffiths, Director of Customer Services at IMG says: “With Blue Strawberry’s outstanding reputation, they really stood out as the partner of choice for an event of this nature and calibre. Their intricate knowledge of Hampton Court Palace and innovative approach to designing this year’s menu have created something truly unforgettable. We’re thrilled to be working with Blue Strawberry and are excited to see what they have in store for the King’s VIP Dining Experience in future years.”
Following The King’s VIP Dining Experience, guests go on to enjoy live music performances and reserved platinum concert seating.
