Pouring Prestige at the British Grand Prix
We brought premium flavour and elevated hospitality to one of the UK’s most iconic events, the 2025 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, serving over half a million motorsport fans across four unforgettable days.
The Ripe Avocado was proud to partner with Freemans Event Partners to operate the Moët & Chandon and Whispering Angel bars. This marked the first year that Moët Hennessy took the role of headline sponsor and our own debut at Silverstone.
Across the four-day festival, our 23-person team delivered a seamless premium experience. We poured thousands of glasses, served hundreds of kilos of locally sourced charcuterie, and helped deliver a celebration of taste, craft and collaboration.
Safe to say, we fully immersed ourselves in the brand - need to know the differences in the Moet portfolio, or what’s what between Whispering Angel or Rock Angel - we’ve got you covered!

“As a little boy by dad would take me to F1 at Silverstone every year and it was a real full circle moment to be asked by our partners Freemans to operate the Moët & Chandon and Whispering Angel bars to add some premium Ripe Avocado magic to the event, it was a real honour to work with such an elevated and recognised brand.
It was even more full circle to be able to invite my dad to come and see us working!
We served almost 10,000 glasses of the good stuff across 4 days with 23 members of staff onsite, a real week of bonding with our own fantastic staffing partners and the wider Freemans Event Partners family”.
