Dine dazzles at Victoria Gate launch

CATERING and event management specialists Dine were on hand to dazzle with their menu last week at the John Lewis and Victoria Gate launch.

The £37m John Lewis – its biggest store outside London – opened to great fanfare with VIP guests and speakers including David Atkins, chief executive of Hammerson and Cllr Judith Blake, leader of Leeds City Council.

Dine prepared an extensive canapé and bowl food menu, including mini cornettos of Caprini goats cheese, arancini of wild mushrooms with truffled aioli and roast dinner of Yorkshire beef served in mini copper pans.

Dine founder Daniel Gill said: “We are honoured to have been chosen to provide our renowned food service at this prestigious event and delighted to have the opportunity to work with Wellpleased Events and for their clients, Hammerson & John Lewis.

“This landmark development is an inspired and elegant addition to Leeds city centre and we aimed to dazzle guests with food and drink that befitted such a fantastic occasion.”

This latest project is all in a day’s work for Leeds-based Dine, which caters for more than a 100 corporate events a year.
