The Food Line Up
We're hungry for change! That's why we do catering a little differently at The Food Line-up. We don't employ permanent chefs in our own kitchen but work through a network of 100 independent chefs, food innovators, and culinary creatives, who put together a unique line-up of dishes for each event. From snacks to Michelin-star plates - always delicious, sustainable, and arranged from start to finish.
