Using one of Kew Gardens' approved catering suppliers is important because Kew is a unique venue with historic buildings, protected landscapes and internationally important botanical collections. Caterers need to understand the venue's requirements and work safely within its environment. Kew therefore operates an approved supplier system to ensure that catering companies meet the standards expected at the Gardens.

Using an approved caterer also makes event planning easier. These companies are familiar with working at Kew and understand the importance of coordinating food service with the venue, event timings and guest requirements. This can help reduce logistical problems and ensure that the catering runs smoothly on the day.

The range of suppliers also means that Kew can accommodate different tastes, budgets, cultures and dietary requirements. This is particularly important for weddings and large celebrations, where guests may have different food preferences or religious and cultural requirements.
