The collaboration represents a significant step forward for the Wisley experience, aiming to elevate quality, broaden choice and create more memorable moments for guests.<\/p>\n<p>At its heart is an ambition to redefine Wisley\u2019s culinary identity. Restaurant Associates Venues will introduce new concepts, refreshed menus, and imaginative approaches designed to bring greater personality and better reflect the character and values of the Royal Horticultural Society.<\/p>\n<p>Our focus is on creating a hospitality offer that feels considered, welcoming and memorable, enhancing each visit while remaining true to Wisley\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Initial developments include the introduction of new menus across Wisley\u2019s dining outlets, alongside the launch of the Wisley Dining Club, a series of dining events hosted in the Terrace Restaurant. Each event will feature a five-course tasting menu inspired by the seasons, complemented by a welcome drink and canap\u00e9s, combining bold, creative dishes with engaging storytelling around ingredients and their connection to the gardens, as well as insights from the RHS curatorial team.<\/p>\n<p>Guests will also be able to enjoy a new summer picnic offer, designed to encourage relaxed al fresco dining throughout the garden. A bespoke picnic planner map will help visitors select their ideal setting, from riverside spots to views across the vineyard.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, there are plans for more extensive developments, including the longer-term refurbishment and revitalisation of the Food Hall, further reinforcing the ambition to make hospitality a defining part of the Wisley experience.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the newly signed contract, Richard Herring, Business Director for Restaurant Associates Venues, explains: \u201cWe 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\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the new partnership Head of Food and Beverage\u00a0at the RHS Andrew Mugliston said: \u201cWe 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\u00a0 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.
