NEC caterer launches 'chef 's table ' offering

Live event caterer, Amadeus, has launched a chef's table concept at Birmingham city centre conference venue the ICC.

Designed to add even greater variety to the offer presented to event organisers when choosing menus, the chef 's table provides exclusivity and privacy to the ICC 's offering.

Guests can choose from buffet-style dining to a sit-down fine dining taster session with wine flight.

The new offering - Dine - is prepared by the venue 's executive chef, Simon Hellier, who has over 30 years' experience in leading kitchens in venues and on cruise ships.

He said: “The menus the team and I create always use quality ingredients and we pay special attention to the sourcing of them for the millions of dishes we serve every year.

“What makes Dine special, is that guests can indulge in a unique and exquisite dining experience that is synonymous with the first-class service and flexible facilities of the ICC. I am looking forward to how the concept is received alongside our comprehensive food and beverage offering. ”

The Dine menus can be tailored according to event organiser requirements.

Amadeus general manager at the ICC, Craig Hancox, added: “We have designed an intimate environment that allows guests to engage with the work that goes into the food, see the production and feel part of the journey. Simon is offering an incredible dining experience that will be particularly beneficial for those wishing to entertain VIPs or guest speakers away from the main delegation.

Dine can accommodate up to nine guests buffet style or six guests for sit-down banqueting on event days as part of organiser event packages.
