Elvendon Restaurants, trading as Grazing Food, has launched Grazing Catering, a new workplace and venue food division, which is focused solely on the business and industry sector.
Grazing Catering offers customers a new and unconventional service by providing contract options ranging from traditional fixed-term agreements, right the way through to a new pay-as-you-go model.
Services range from full in-house workplace restaurants, hospitality and directors dining, to regular or ad-hoc breakfast and lunch deliveries prepared off-site at the company’s new kitchens on the edge of the City.
Grazing Catering has already secured business and industry clients in the City, operating in the tech, insurance and media sectors.
Grazing Food group founder, Sam Hurst said, “The traditional contract catering landscape is changing dramatically. We’ve seen dilution of boundaries between high street and workplace catering, with the former increasingly offering direct to office services.
“The flexibility these businesses provide means traditional caterers need to be more nimble with their approach. That’s why we’ve introduced our ‘pay as you go’ contracts.
“Whilst our new business will offer traditional contracted services, including investment where required, we will also offer quality food on a daily rolling basis. No contracts or long-term commitments are required.”
Hurst added, “We’ve been providing events and food delivery services for some time to a wider array of corporate clients. Many of these have asked us to provide a broader range of services to them so, whilst we are formally launching this dedicated new business today, we have been providing these services informally for some time.
“The B&I market is consolidating daily and we feel we can offer something a little bit different to the market. We have the infrastructure to challenge some of these players and are excited to see what the future holds.”
