The 12th to the 18th September 2021 marks Chef Appreciation Week, so we wanted to take the opportunity to introduce some of the talented chefs that we work with in our hospitality facilities across some of our greatest sporting events. Food is an integral part of any event and is an element that guests place such a great importance on. Chefs are the driving force behind the delicious and beautifully presented food, where their dedication, creativity, and passion for cooking shines through every dish they create, constantly testing their artistic flare to produce innovate menus.
