The Gartner Gathering: Where Corporate Meets Culinary Magic!
Who says corporate events have to be stuffy? Not us! We welcomed back our friends at Gartner for a trio of business gatherings at the gorgeous Kent House Knightsbridge, and turned what could have been "just another corporate event" into a proper foodie affair.
Each event hosted 60-80 guests who were greeted with drinks and canapés (our plantain crisps with scotch bonnet gel proved particularly popular!). Guests then participated in round table discussions while our team reset the space for a second reception.
Following discussions, everyone gathered for dinner where Gartner's hosts summarised the day's insights while we served a three-course meal with specially selected wines. Even our vegan and gluten-free options caused food envy across the room! The evening concluded with tea, coffee and petit fours before guests departed – hopefully with both new business connections and culinary memories.
From plan to plate, we made sure the serious business discussions were fueled by seriously good food. Because let's be honest - boring food makes for boring meetings, and nobody wants that, right? It's just another reason why Gartner keeps coming back for seconds (and thirds!).
