CH&CO

CH&CO is a leading catering group offering premium contract and hospitality services across the UK.

CH&CO has established a highly respected brand and serves a diverse range of customers in workplaces, education, venues, livery halls and well-known visitor attractions.

The business had held a Royal Warrant for the provision of catering services to HM Queen since 2013, and manages catering facilities for The Tower of London, Hampton Court and Goldsmiths’ Hall, among others.

CH&CO operates staff restaurants and cafes, as well as delivering in-house hospitality for a host of blue-chip companies. Its high-quality offer is attractive to employers who recognise this as an important employee benefit.

In the education sector, CH&CO provides delicious, interesting and nutritionally-balanced food for school lunches in both state and private schools.
