These include, amongst others, interactive culinary stations that will see event guests engage with our fantastic chefs and customise their dining experience, an investment in innovative technology both back and front of house, and an increased focus on reducing RCP’s catering-associated carbon footprint. We’ve a brilliant three years ahead!”
