We want to work with people who are passionate about what they do and a great way to achieve that is to seek out local suppliers, build relationships and develop our offering in line with what they can provide,” comments Emma Boynton, head of sales and marketing at Imago Venues. “This focus on the local means our chefs truly understand the produce they are working with. They can build it into their recipes and deliver great, seasonal dishes that excite our event attendees. From the beverage point of view, it means we can work directly with the producers and offer high quality drinks with a point of difference.”

Beverages are also an important and often overlooked part of the catering offering at a venue, which is why Imago Venues places so much value in their choice of suppliers including:
