Barbican Seals New Catering Services Deal

The deal will offer a range of new eating spaces and dining options.

The Barbican announced that it had signed new catering contracts with restaurant, bar and event specialist Searcys, alongside arts venue and high street brand Benugo. The contracts will start in summer 2015 and will offer visitors to the Centre a range of new eating spaces and dining options.

Extending its 25-year relationship with the Barbican, Searcys will open two new restaurants in the Centre and will also continue to provide a variety of catering and hospitality services across the Barbican’s nineteen flexible and creative event spaces.

Exciting plans are set to be unveiled for the duo of new Barbican eateries, and include a partnership with one of London’s most celebrated chefs. The second floor restaurant will become a contemporary modern bistro, whilst the first floor space is transformed into a premium fast casual dining concept.

Run by Benugo, the Barbican Kitchen on the ground floor will feature a hand built wood fired oven serving organic pizza and the introduction of a ‘kids eat free’ offer for families. Set in the bright open plan space next to the lakeside, it is ideal for families, individuals and large groups visiting the Centre. Benugo will also operate the cinema cafes and foyer coffee points around the Barbican.
