Overall Matchday Hospitality Experience Winner at the football hospitality awards 2013
A WARM WELCOME... We have always been noted for supreme hospitality but there is no question that our attractive offering has been redefined these past twelve months. Not only have we been recognised again as having the Overall Best Matchday Hospitality Experience in the country and Premier League, we have broken new ground in an industry now working hard at sustainability. We did not follow the crowd. We led the way in developing pioneering ways to initiate best practice with trade chiefs and vital clients. Our food has always been regarded as delicious and delightful – we have redefined our offering with new menus, aimed at enchanting the palate of our guests. Our packages have been well received for many years, but once again that does not stop us looking to progress and improve. After extensive work to gain the opinion of customers, we have redefined our packages, giving better variety and options to our customers and guests. We are focused on making a difference and delivering an even better experience – Hospitality Redefined To find out more call 0800 612 0960 (option 1) or visit www.avhe.co.uk
