Excel London and Levy UK & Ireland, the UK’s leading sports and entertainment caterer has released the first episode of its mini documentary series entitled “Behind the Pass”.
The documentary series, which was filmed earlier this year, is to mark the 25th anniverary of the companies working together.
The four-part series offers an unprecedented insight into the planning, preparation, pressures and pleasures of catering for major events.
Going behind the scenes from start to finish, the series centres on the delivery of a high-end banquet for 4,000 delegates, whose guests included leading politicians, global CEOs and international celebrities.
Episode one of Behind the Pass, references the crucial area of the kitchen where dishes are finalised.
Produced by AirFrame Media, the series takes inspiration from popular Netflix documentaries.
The series also delves into the personal passions and career experiences of the chefs and catering team at Levy, as well as showcasing the huge number of Excel staff and suppliers that are involved in just one 24-hour period.
Late last year the two companies further strengthened their 25-year partnership by announcing a multi- million-pound commitment to future investment and innovation.
Central to this lies a brand-new dining experience for Excel’s new-look waterfront entertainment district – Immerse LDN – entitled the Waterfront Street Kitchen & Bar.
In addition, Levy will expand its in-venue food and beverage offer to Excel’s new 25,000sqm expansion, continuing its focus on providing high-end, modern and sustainable cuisine, as well as initiatives such as carbon food labelling, menus that are at least 50% plant-based and the sourcing of 100% recyclable or reusable packing.
