Private Corporate Entertaining with Venturi's Table
20/11/2009
Even during the recession companies still need to entertain, but in a more private setting and Venturi's Table is providing the perfect solution.
Venturi's Table is London's first Corporate Cooking Centre, custom-built to provide fun Corporate Team Building and private corporate entertaining for groups of business professionals and their clients.
In the last few months, swathes of workers from Square Mile firms have donned white aprons in its kitchens. Owner Anna Venturi says:
"Several banks are inviting clients here because it is so private. They'll take around 25 people and serve vintage wines and special champagnes. We have some who come again and again."
Some may scoff at the idea of bankers swapping large corporate events for more private entertaining, but one investment banker believes these more intimate and refined events are the future for City entertaining:
"I reckon the recession has accelerated the move away from the days of excess towards trying to give clients something different, something they are more likely to remember."
The increase in these smaller, more intimate events is helping the entertaining industry recover from the post-Lehman Brothers decline.
"Between January and March, the corporate market was dead, but activity is definitely increasing. We are quite optimistic about Christmas now,"
Says Johnny Roxburgh, founder of the Admirable Crichton events company.
"Entertaining clients has changed though - people don't want to be seen as extravagant. They still demand some degree of quality. They don't want to serve vulgar wines, but they don't want to give people plonk either."
