British caterer and restaurateur, Searcys, has been appointed as the new catering partner for Stationers’ Hall, providing catering services across the venue in a five-year agreement.
Located by St Paul’s Cathedral, Stationers’ Hall is currently undergoing a £7.5m refurbishment and will reopen its doors in July 2022 with the addition of air-cooling in the main rooms, step-free access throughout, and flexible event spaces.
The new spaces that have been added include a meeting room, available in a theatre-style or as three separate board rooms and the ‘Charter Room’, a new private dining space seating 12 with views of the landscaped garden.
As a catering partner, Searcys’ menus aim to showcase the best of seasonal produce from the British Isles and provide a variety of packages running from breakfast to fine-dining experiences.
Giles Fagan, clerk of the Stationers’ Company, said: “With a £7.5m Hall investment programme underway, it was important that we found a catering company which fits in with our values but could also significantly contribute to the success of our relaunch. It is a fantastic opportunity to establish a new catering team and showcase our new event space for the future.”
Peter Martin, account director at Searcys for Stationers’ Hall, added: “We are delighted to have been chosen by the Stationers Company to open the Hall after its extensive refurbishment. It is a fantastic opportunity to mark our double anniversaries, 350th and 175th.”
