Wilson Vale awarded its first Cambridge college contract

Wilson Vale has been awarded a contract worth £500,000 in annual turnover to provide catering services to the University of Cambridge's Clare Hall graduate college.

A team of 10 Wilson Vale staff now provides lunch, supper and a weekly formal dinner service to graduate students, fellows, staff and visitors since the contract started on 2 September.

Wilson Vale will also cater for three annual feasts at Clare Hall and will work with college staff to provide catering support for conferences, meetings, private dinners and other events.

Andrew Wilson, co-founder of Wilson Vale, said: “This is a significant milestone in our history to date. We are fortunate to have a strong presence in the Cambridge area; Clare Hall is our 11th contract in the county but our first Cambridge college so it is a wonderful addition to our portfolio.”

Bursar of Clare Hall, Ian Strachan, added: “The college is delighted to welcome Wilson Vale as our catering team, and they are already demonstrating what they can bring to Clare Hall, with imaginative varied menus, a focus on locally-sourced produce and an excellent team of chefs.”
