Sodexo Live! will continue to operate the museum’s restaurant and café, building on two decades of shared commitment to high quality service at the world renowned historic London museum.
The Wallace Café & Restaurant, open daily from 10am to 5pm, is a much loved part of the visitor experience. Its all day menu offers seasonal dishes, cakes and pastries, and classic cream teas.
Creativity and culture meet on the plate, with the menu including dishes inspired by the museum’s exhibitions - such as Caravaggio’s Roasted Fruits “La Canestra di Frutta” dessert. Afternoon tea is a signature element of the offer and has featured themes such as Grayson Perry, allowing visitors to enjoy an immersive extension of the art showcased in the museum’s galleries.
Daytime events will continue to play a central role in the partnership, with Sodexo Live! specialist catering brand, Heritage Portfolio, delivering everything from internal breakfast meetings to museum organised conferences and evening receptions. Heritage Portfolio also features on the accredited supplier list for private dinners, as well as functions and events including weddings. The focus remains on providing hospitality that complements the elegance and character of this renowned cultural setting.
"We are delighted to extend our partnership with The Wallace Collection. Over two decades, we have worked closely with the museum serving food and hospitality to enhance the visitor experience at this extraordinary London cultural institution.
“As we enter the next phase of our partnership, we look forward to building on that legacy by elevating the experience even further, creating exceptional food moments for the museum’s daily visitors and hospitality guests.”
Sustainability and social impact are key pillars of the renewed agreement. Food waste is managed through the company’s WasteWatch programme, enabling the kitchen teams to track, monitor and reduce food waste, supporting the broader environmental commitments of both organisations. Opening up employment opportunities is also of great importance to both, at The Wallace Collection, Sodexo Live! partners with the charity Social Bite to create employment pathways for people affected by homelessness.
“As our partnership with Sodexo Live! enters its third decade, we remain focused on ensuring the food and hospitality evolves to reflect the culture of the museum and enrich the visitor experience.”
