The 20-year celebrations commence with its Casual Dining Competition, which is taking place on 30 June at New City College in Hackney.
The finalists, from across Lexington’s business, will cook a range of dishes ranging from Japanese with a Latin influence, modern British small plates and vegan junk food to Hawaiian poke bowls, Lebanese street food and Hungarian desserts with a British twist.
Lexington has been supporting food service at Refettorio Felix at St Cuthbert’s, a centre at the heart of supporting vulnerable people, by preparing meals made with surplus food. Over the last four years, Lexington has served over 7,000 meals.
Matt Wood, managing director, Lexington, commented: “I’m immensely proud of everyone at Lexington that has contributed to maintaining our values and driving the business forward. It’s great to be able to celebrate and make a positive difference to people, the planet, and the charities that are so close to us.
“I’m looking forward to the next 20 years as we embark on a new chapter with a heightened focus on sustainability and commitment to managing the new world of work – I’m sure that the next two decades will look quite different.”
To demonstrate its commitment to sustainability, Lexington’s Green Force division will plant 20 trees in recognition of the 20 years of catering. To celebrate with its employees, Lexington will be hosting a family fun event in August with a street food stalls, games and music.
