Savoury Chef Foods was the exclusive caterer for VIP ticket holders of Cirque Du Soleil – Amaluna Tour 2013. For three intense months we provided a pre-show canape and chef station reception, then desserts during the intermission for up to 250 guests per show. All of this was executed in a pop up kitchen of 20×40 built from scratch. The client was wonderful to work with and gave us full trust from beginning to end.
