A look back at two memorable days, when we had the pleasure of catering the opening celebrations for the launch of V&A East.

Marking the arrival of a new cultural landmark in East London, the celebrations unfolded across multiple floors, each with its own distinct atmosphere. From live bands to DJs, the programme brought the museum’s spirit of creativity and its power to inspire change to life.

Guests enjoyed a selection of summer cocktails and sparkling w**e from NYETIMBER, alongside an assortment of Rocket signature canapés served throughout the back-to-back celebration.

A brilliant event to be part of, and a memorable addition to the V&A story. We’re proud to have been there with V&A Venue Hire and Event Concept | B Corp™

Honoured to have been part of last night’s opening of the much-anticipated Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at the British Museum, welcoming VIP guests to experience one of the world’s most remarkable medieval works of art.
 
For the occasion, our team served a selection of canapés and drinks, alongside seafood and charcuterie food stalls showcasing some of the very best British ingredients.
 
It was an especially meaningful evening for Rocket, having recently been re-accredited as a selected supplier to the British Museum. To be back at such an iconic institution for an exhibition of this significance was a real privilege. 💫
 
The Bayeux Tapestry exhibition opens to the public on 10 September.

Behind every Rocket event is a huge amount of planning, preparation, ingredients and materials — and, inevitably, waste.

From the dishes we serve to everything that goes into producing them, understanding where waste occurs is an important part of reducing it.

This Zero Waste Week, we’re focusing on improving how we measure and understand waste across the business. Working closely with our waste partner, we’re taking a deeper look at the different waste streams we generate, the data behind them, and what happens to those materials after they leave Rocket.

We already work hard to minimise waste wherever we can, but better visibility helps us keep improving and focus our efforts where they can have the greatest impact.

We’ll be sharing more on what we learn, and where we’re focusing next.

September has arrived and a new season is on the horizon.

Drawing on the richness of the months ahead and the produce that comes with them, our autumn-winter menus are now in season across tastings and upcoming events.

Pictured here, Cornish hake features in one of our new seasonal dishes; a first taste of what’s to come.

Keep an eye out for our newsletter later this month, where we’ll take a closer look at some of the dishes shaping the season.

World-class hospitality, set against one of sport’s most iconic backdrops. 🏎️🏁

For this year’s Monaco Grand Prix, Rocket delivered a range of hospitality experiences across the city. Alongside our ongoing trackside catering programme for a leading Formula 1 team, we also created bespoke guest experiences aboard a luxury yacht in Monaco Harbour and within an exclusive apartment overlooking the circuit.

While the race weekend lasted four days, months of planning went into bringing it to life. From menu development and logistics to floristry, styling and guest experience, every detail was carefully considered long before guests stepped aboard.

Our team travelled from London to Monaco days in advance, working across operations, kitchens, events and décor to transform each space and deliver seamless hospitality throughout the weekend. Even our Rocket van made the 900-mile journey from Battersea to the Côte d’Azur, carrying everything needed behind the scenes.

A huge thank you to the incredible Rocket team whose hard work, dedication and attention to detail made it all possible. ✨

Last week, we had the pleasure of delivering two events for the opening of ‘Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait’ at the . 

The first marked the exhibition’s official launch, held on what would have been the American actress’ 100th birthday. A few days later, we returned for an exclusive private view, serving a selection of Italian-inspired small bites from our cicchetti food stall as guests explored the exhibition. 

Set against the backdrop of one of the gallery’s most anticipated exhibitions this year, both events celebrated the enduring legacy of a true cultural icon while bringing together art and hospitality. 

‘Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait’ is now open to the public. If you’re looking for your next exhibition, this one shouldn’t be missed.  ✨
