Seasoned to cater at London Christmas ice rinks


Award-winning events caterer, Seasoned is set to bring their Dip Dunk Lodge catering offer to the ice rinks at the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace this Christmas.

Teaming with new supplier Arena Ice, Seasoned will be providing all catering to the historic venues’ ice rink visitors from November – January. With their Dip Dunk Lodge food concept based around social eating and sharing experiences, visitors will be able to enjoy a winter menu that features pie boards and fondue pots - designed to be shared, dipped and dunked.

Colin Sayers, Managing Partner for Seasoned, said, “We are thrilled to be working with Arena Ice this year at the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace Ice Rinks. This will finish our year of large-scale projects - which included Blenheim Palace Music Festival and the Great British Grand Prix at Silverstone - with some extra Christmas cheer!

“The sharing style of food we are offering in The Dip Dunk Lodge aims to give everyone the chance to get involved; from the families deliberating over which hot chocolate toppings to go for, to the groups of friends making the most of our diddy doughnuts and brioches in hot chocolate sauce fondues.

'We aim to offer something different for everyone, and create some tweet-able moments too!”.

The Dip Dunk Lodge menu includes; cheese fondue, lamb and cinnamon skewers, roasted jacket potatoes with hot pumpkin sauce, chocolate fondue and a range of sharing pies including spiced chicken, steak and ale, butternut, spinach and feta. There will also be a bakery counter serving flower pot muffins, mince pies and gingerbread biscuits.

James Anderson, Commercial Director, Arena Group, said, 'This is the first year of our exciting new partnership with the Tower of London & Hampton Court Palace, to bring our ice rinks to these historic sites.

'As the official food and drink supplier, Seasoned’s themed menu has been designed with the festive season in mind to bring visitors together at this special time of year. Join us to enjoy simply great food served alongside a sensational rink-side view at two national treasures.

'We look forward to working with Seasoned and welcoming everyone to our rinks in the coming weeks”.

Bookings are also being taken for private parties, with a special party menu available, as well as a wristband drinks package. The Tower of London ice rink is available from 16 November 2016 – 3 January. The Hampton Court Palace ice rink is available from 25 November – 8 January. Tickets can be purchased online.
