Hampshire County Council Country Parks - Strategic Catering Review

Hampshire County Council Countryside Service owns catering premises at five Country Parks and one National Nature Reserve – Lepe Country Park, Royal Victoria Country Park, Staunton Country Park, Manor Farm and Country Park, Queen Elizabeth Country Park, and Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve.

The Country Parks Transformation is an exciting and ambitious programme to improve Hampshire County Council’s much-loved parks. Catering is a key contributor to this and as such Montfort Catering Consultants have recently undertaken a strategic catering review of future operational and development proposals for visitor catering at each of the parks. Our work has resulted in clear recommendations to develop the visitor catering at each of the parks and the nature reserve.

Advice & support has included:

• Detailed market review & analysis
• Visitor catering food & drink trends
• Best practice benchmarking & case studies
• Operational review & strategic potential
• Benchmarking & financial potential
• Business planning
• Management models & recommendation
• Site requirements & recommendations
• Investment considerations
• Design support, including space strategy planning, schematics, equipment services & costings
• Workshop to develop recommendations & implementation
