Returning for a Second Year of Wimbledon Hospitality
Following the success of last year's event, Jimmy Garcia Catering was once again chosen to deliver Stella Artois' Let's Do Dinner experience during Wimbledon. Returning for a second consecutive year, the event welcomed 250 guests to HERE at Outernet for an evening celebrating great food, exceptional hospitality and one of Britain's most iconic sporting occasions.
Guests were welcomed with an abundant canapé reception inspired by elevated comfort food. Crispy fried chicken with chilli crisp and furikake, prawn toast Scotch eggs, gin and tonic cured trout and Wye Valley asparagus set the tone before guests took their seats to tables already filled with generous grazing platters. Fresh focaccia, ciabatta, olive bread, cod's roe, hummus, crudités and edible garden-inspired displays created a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged guests to help themselves from the moment they arrived.
Dinner celebrated classic British dishes with a contemporary twist. A prawn cocktail starter was followed by beautifully plated beef sirloin with layered potato terrine, accompanied by generous sharing bowls of macaroni cheese, creamed spinach, Caesar salad and house-made sauces. To finish, guests enjoyed a family-style strawberries and cream Eton Mess, a playful nod to Wimbledon tradition that encouraged everyone to build their own dessert at the table.
Bespoke Stella Artois cocktails elevated the experience even further, including the Artois Spritz and an interactive tableside Michelada served in signature Stella chalices, adding theatre throughout the evening. Behind the scenes, a large team of chefs, bartenders and front-of-house staff worked together to deliver seamless service throughout the evening.
“Thank you for being a massive part of a very successful event. The food was amazing, the client is very happy and we are super proud of what we pulled off – thanks! Thank you again for everything. Hope you have a great rest of your summer and… same time next year?”
Delivering this event for a second consecutive year reflects the strength of our relationship with Stella Artois and Wimbledon, as well as our ability to consistently deliver memorable brand experiences.
