Royal Opera House
Royal Opera House Restaurants - A refreshing new venture between the Royal Opera House and Company of Cooks.
From 1 April 2010, Company of Cooks became the Royal Opera House’s chosen partner for the future operation and development of food and drink. Company of Cooks manages the Opera House’s numerous restaurants and bars and provide the catering for the large numbers of events held at the iconic building in Covent Garden. Following a rigorous tendering process during the autumn of 2009 led by John Seekings, Director of Operations and Stephen Michael, Managing Director of ROH Enterprises, Company of Cooks was chosen by a panel of Board members and Executives from the Royal Opera House.
Tony Hall, Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House said, “Company of Cooks has shown us an unbeatable combination of contemporary ideas and a refreshing approach to food, plus an acute understanding of the importance of the world class standards we offer our audiences.”
Mike Lucy, Founder and CEO of Company of Cooks said: “A partnership with such a World class venue and management team underlines our intent to become the best in our own class. We have invested heavily in our people and management processes in recent years, adding new talent in both operational and specialist areas which include the addition of first class London dining and drinking talent to our senior management. These investments will allow us to bring the Royal Opera House partnership and the tremendous restaurants, bars and events staff teams smoothly into our Company. We thank Tony Hall, his Executive team and the Board of the Royal Opera House for trusting us with their hospitality in future. This is a transformational time for us and today, we are so proud. Tomorrow, the real work begins with our preparations for April 2010”.
