Gusto develops unique crew catering experience
Gusto Catering are joining forces with CP Foods in a move that
creates a new Festival Events company that provides a unique crew
catering experience.
Managing Director Antony Horton-Tilley said “the venture creates a significant strategic opportunity
for both businesses by sharing complementary strengths. CP Foods are able to provide proven
concession brands like Chozen Noodle while Gusto have a great level of expertise in the Festival
events business. The result is the creation of a new venture that will enable us to combine a standard
canteen style food operation with a food court experience. This will provide greater choice for the
customer while also speeding up service times, reducing queues and providing greater choice”.
The company will be introducing multiple food stations, which will provide a range of traditional fayre
with new exciting offerings from around the world.
Part of this will be the added Asian focused Chozen Noodle operation which CP invested in last year.
That means we can offer a great range of products like Katsu, Chicken Teriyaki together with Thai
classics like Red Thai Curry which have been developed by CP’s own Thai chef team.
The other key area where CP can help is in terms of manpower and logistics as they already have a
national presence with a management team and crew who have both Hospitality and Event based
experience from running 4 operations at the Excel centre along with various external events. That
means we can really scale the business as we have multiple crews able to do extra events.
“It’s a Win/Win as the customer gets more choice while
we are able to serve more customers at peak times”
