Blue Strawberry recently delivered the exclusive King’s VIP Dining Experience at the Hampton Court Palace Festival over ten consecutive nights, as part of a multi-year contract with IMG. The line-up for this year’s 28th festival season included global headliners Tom Jones, Nile Rodgers & CHIC and Sheryl Crow.

As one of the Historic Royal Palaces (HRP)’s accredited partners across the entire estate, Blue Strawberry drew on its extensive experience delivering world-class events in the 500-year-old Palace. The VIP Experience included a lavish three-course dinner with paired wines, served in Henry VIII's magnificent Great Hall.

Stuart Jenkins, Managing Director of Blue Strawberry, comments: “The King’s VIP Dining Experience is the epitome of opulence. While immersed in the Great Hall’s royal splendour, guests enjoyed an indulgent menu curated by our menu design team. We’re incredibly proud that IMG and HRP have entrusted us to deliver this unparalleled event experience for three years and hopefully beyond.”

Utilising the season’s finest British produce and inspired by the spectacular surroundings, menu highlights included ‘The Allotment’ – based on the quintessential Catalan pairing, and native breed ‘Tudor court beef’.

Vanessa Griffiths, Director of Customer Services at IMG says: “With Blue Strawberry’s outstanding reputation, they really stood out as the partner of choice for an event of this nature and calibre. Their intricate knowledge of Hampton Court Palace and innovative approach to designing the menu created something truly unforgettable. Based on this year’s success, we’re excited to see what they have in store for future years.”
