Smart Hospitality has a long and prestigious history, catering for some of the most renowned hospitality events across the country. From the Olympic Hospitality Centre at London 2012 to Royal Ascot, Twickenham and Wimbledon.

In 2015, the Smart Group acquired Moving Venue, a pioneering London event caterer with an unparalleled heritage of catering events at some of London’s most challenging and unique venues, including the Natural History Museum and the Tower of London. Today, Moving Venue proudly serves as the flagship catering brand for the Smart Group combining the logistical expertise of large-scale hospitality with the meticulous attention to detail required for heritage site catering. Key contributors to the success of the Olympics, such as David Ridgway, Group Executive Chef, and Kim Laley, Catering Operations Director, continue to lead on hospitality catering to this day under one unified brand – Moving Venue.

Moving Venue now caters at some of the most iconic sporting and cultural events across the country, including Royal Ascot, Twickenham, Farnborough and Paris Air Shows, Nursery Pavilion at Lord’s, the British Grand Prix, Hampton Court Palace Festival, and Concours of Elegance.

Though no longer Smart Hospitality by name, you can expect the same dedicated team at each of your sporting or cultural hospitality events. Head over to Moving Venue Caterers to find out more.

Last week should have been one of our favourite weeks of the year - Royal Ascot! Whilst we cheered the races on from the comfort of our own homes, we did miss the exhilaration of being onsite for such an iconic occasion. Roll on 2021!

A message from our CEO Greg Lawson
‘A week ago today I made some of the toughest decisions in my career. Faced with unprecedented circumstances, we regrettably have had to make some cuts to our incredible workforce. This has been a mixture of redundancies, terminations, leave and a reduced working week. This decision was not taken lightly, but is naturally important to ensure the safeguarding of the future of Smart Group and its numerous brands, Smart Hospitality included. We have committed to those staff that they will be the first to receive a job offer as soon as we are in a position to make one.

In the time that has followed we have worked hard to ensure the welfare of our staff - emptying our fridges to provide care packages for some of those terminated, and remaining in constant discussions with our finance team and HMRC to ensure the most welcomed Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme can support those affected as soon as possible. We appreciate that the affects of COVID-19 are far reaching beyond us and our industry and so we have been liaising with our chefs, various councils and several interested parties as we have assets that can be used to ease suffering and feed people in need. We are in early stage talks on several projects and on Monday we are launching our first initiative feeding NHS workers with the wonderful Angela Hartnett. We are taking a considered approach as we want to make sure that we can make the best impact, producing and delivering food to those who need it most. We still have capacity and will consider any projects put forward. Something real and good will come from this awful catastrophe.

We are in turbulent times, but I am confident we will come out of this and never forget the camaraderie and support shown across the industry. We must and we shall stand together. Never will I stop dreaming, join me in dreaming that we will get over this quickly and pick up just where we broke off and turn that dream into a reality.’
