St James’ Park gives clients What They Want this Christmas …

CORPORATE clients looking to celebrate the festive season don’t have to wait to tell Santa what they really want for Christmas – they can get it from one of the UK’s leading football grounds.  Companies out to impress their guests this year are being offered the opportunity to have a bespoke Christmas gathering created for them at St James’ Park, the home of Newcastle United. Along with their usual party packages the team at Sodexo Prestige, which manages catering and events at the ground, is offering to create highly individual events with a guaranteed wow factor. Options include gourmet-style catering with speciality foods and special wine choices which –for numbers up to 25 – includes dishes such as top quality steaks cooked to individual preferences. These special events can be hosted in boxes with exclusive views of the pitch, adding an extra wow factor which is guaranteed to impress or to be the perfect reward for hard working executives.  St James’ Park, home to Newcastle United FC, is one of the North East’s most popular venues for corporate events such as meetings, product launches, AGMs and conferences. The special seasonal What They Want scheme will put Sodexo Prestige’s award-winning team of chefs and event organisers entirely at the client’s disposal to organise everything from menus and entertainment to guest speakers and room dressings. They will also be invited to the stadium to discuss their requirements with executive head chef Robert Hendrix, who can cater for everything from a formal seated dinner to buffets and canapés receptions.
