Heritage Portfolio has been appointed to run the café, restaurant and events for V&A Museum of Design Dundee, the first V&A museum outside of London.
The catering operation at V&A Dundee will be an essential part of the visitor experience with a welcoming café in the main hall, a spectacular restaurant with outdoor terrace overlooking the River Tay, and a range of unique spaces throughout the museum that are able to host events and dinners through into the evening.
The Edinburgh-based company runs highly successful cafes, restaurants and events at a range of visitor attractions including the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the Scottish Portrait Gallery, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Signet Library and Scone Palace.
Heritage Portfolio is also the only catering company in Scotland to have been awarded a Royal Warrant as an official supplier of catering services to Her Majesty the Queen.
The contract to run the café, restaurant and events at V&A Dundee is intended to create up to 30 new permanent jobs in Dundee, plus many more flexible roles for catering large-scale events.
The ground floor café will be in the main hall of V&A Dundee, where visitors first enter the museum. The upper floor restaurant, which includes a roof terrace overlooking RRS Discovery and the River Tay, will celebrate Scottish produce and cuisine. Menus in the café and restaurant will change with the seasons and the availability of high-quality produce locally
