Written By Jay Burgesson-Carter

The Ripe Avocado was delighted to be invited to Universal Studios' brand new studio space to cater their end-of-summer cine social - a relaxed celebration bringing together all the talented staff who make the magic happen behind the scenes. This intimate gathering was the perfect way to toast another successful season whilst showcasing the stunning new facilities that will house future creative projects. Our team crafted a diverse street food menu that captured the laid-back, celebratory atmosphere the client was after - think gourmet comfort food that staff could enjoy whilst mingling and exploring their impressive new workspace. From handcrafted burgers featuring premium Lake District beef to Mediterranean-inspired mezze bowls and artisanal pizzettes, every dish was designed for easy sharing and socialising. The addition of classic cocktails and 0% alternatives ensured everyone could raise a glass to commemorate this milestone moment. It was a total privilege to be part of such a special occasion, celebrating both the incredible team at Universal Studios and their exciting new creative home.
