Exceptional settings deserve exceptional hospitality – and that’s exactly what this new partnership will deliver.

Over the next five years, we will work alongside RHS Garden Wisley to shape a new vision for food, drink and dining experiences, redefining the visitor experience at one of the UK’s most iconic garden settings.

The partnership reflects our continued growth within the cultural and visitor attraction sector, bringing its expertise in premium, experience-led hospitality to a world-renowned setting.

As part of the new contract, we will lead a transformation of the food and drink offer across the garden. The focus will be on delivering a more distinctive, high-quality experience that aligns with the ethos of the Royal Horticultural Society.

New menus, refreshed concepts and creative storytelling will connect guests more closely to the gardens, the seasons and the provenance of ingredients – creating a more immersive and memorable experience.

The initial phase of the partnership will see the rollout of new menus across all dining outlets, alongside the launch of the Wisley Dining Club.

This new event series will take place in the Terrace Restaurant, offering a premium five-course tasting experience with a welcome drink and canapés. Each event will showcase seasonal produce, with dishes inspired by the gardens and brought to life through collaboration with RHS curatorial experts.

In addition, a new summer picnic offer will encourage visitors to explore the grounds through relaxed, al fresco dining. A bespoke picnic planner map will guide guests to scenic locations across the garden, enhancing the overall visitor journey.

Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in the Wisley experience, with longer-term plans including the refurbishment and revitalisation of the Food Hall, further positioning hospitality as a defining part of the visitor journey.

Richard Herring, Business Director at Restaurant Associates Venues shares “We are delighted to be working with RHS Garden Wisley, a place renowned for its heritage and extraordinary horticultural setting. Our focus is on creating a hospitality offer that feels considered, welcoming and memorable, enhancing each visit while remaining true to Wisley’s identity. This partnership gives us the opportunity to introduce new ideas, raise standards and bring fresh energy to every part of the food and drink experience”

Andrew Mugliston, Head of Food and Beverage at the Royal Horticultural Society, adds: “We are excited to be working with Restaurant Associates Venues as we begin this new chapter for Food and Beverage at RHS Garden Wisley, The restaurants and cafes play an important role in our overall visitor experience and this partnership will help us create offers that reflect the seasons, celebrate ingredients and connect visitors more closely to the garden. We look forward to working together over the next five years.”
