Elior UK has been awarded a three-year catering contract at Aberdeen Art Gallery which will see the contract caterer transform the site’s food and drink offering under its new specialist concessions arm, Foodsmiths.

The art gallery’s main café, balcony and hospitality will be transformed as visitors enjoy Elior’s tempting range of cakes, pastries, salads, specialty tea and coffee, and hot dishes using seasonal ingredients. There will also be an afternoon tea offering and a craft baker will be on site, baking delicious breads, cakes and scones. 

Elior’s development chefs are busy creating unique menus for the site to celebrate the region’s rich cultural heritage and create a stir amongst visitors.

Cllr Marie Boulton, Aberdeen City Council’s culture spokesperson, commented: “The food and drink offer delivered by Elior at Aberdeen Art Gallery will be a perfect complement to the building. It will be a relaxing, modern and contemporary setting for gallery visitors and passersby. With Elior confirmed as our catering partner, we look forward to world class food and service delivery at Aberdeen’s flagship cultural venue.” 

Elior UK is a leading heritage, leisure and entertainment caterer, with other heritage sites including St Fagan’s National History Museum and St Albans Cathedral & Osbourne House.
