Houston & Hawkes secures five-year contract with law firm Stewarts

B Corp caterer Houston & Hawkes has been appointed to provide workplace dining services for UK litigation law firm Stewarts.

The five-year contract will see Houston & Hawkes serve more than 450 employees across a staff café, fine dining, hospitality, and events and reception services, with the menu focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Stuart Dench, managing partner at Stewarts, said the law firm chose the independent caterer for “their focus on quality, provenance and responsible sourcing”.

Dench added: “Creating a compelling workplace proposition for our people is a key priority, and we’re confident the food and service they provide will contribute meaningfully to that.”

Dave Hawkes, director at Houston & Hawkes, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with such a prestigious firm. Stewarts shares our belief that great food plays a vital role in supporting healthy, connected teams and creating a workplace people enjoy being part of. We can’t wait to bring our delicious food to their team.”

Earlier this year, the caterer was named in-house caterers at central London venue Regent’s Events. It is supplying the Regent’s Park-based events provider with chefs, sommeliers and mixologists.

Houston and Dave Hawkes launched Houston & Hawkes in late 2019, which later became the UK’s first B Corp caterer in 2022. It also received the Boutique Caterer of the Year award at the 2022 Foodservice Cateys and the CSER accolade at the Foodservice Cateys 2024.
