Cardiff City Stadium joins Healthy Stadia Network
Cardiff City Stadium has joined the Healthy Stadia Network, making it the first Welsh stadium in this prestigious European programme. Compass Group UK and Ireland’s Sport, Leisure and Hospitality sector, which has operated the catering contract at Cardiff City stadium since it opened in July 2009, worked closely with the stadium and its Community Foundation team on the application to join the network, and will continue to link the work of the programme with new healthier options for matchday public in the stadia and kiosks. This will include providing school children with a piece of fruit and a healthy drink option when visiting the ground.
“We’ve been working to promote healthy eating messages both to children and young visitors to the stadium, through creating healthy kids meals for under 16s, as well as introducing a ‘Fresh Fruit Friday’ to encourage Cardiff City Stadium employees and visitors to reach their five a day target,” said Jane Cook, general manager, Compass Group, Cardiff City Football Club.
Compass Group’s Sport, Leisure and Hospitality sector runs the catering contract at the stadium, providing food and beverages for 150m of public kiosks, 14 private hospitality boxes, two restaurants, a banqueting suite and the chairman’s lounge.
