An exciting and innovative new catering enterprise called Flavour Gateway is being launched on Tuesday 10 March at the annual showcase event for local charity, City Gateway.  Targeting organisations across East London with their high quality and professional catering service, Flavour Gateway’s menus will be reflecting the multi-cultural tastes of the area with dishes ranging from South Asian specialities to traditional British cuisine.

Based in Tower Hamlets, the business has been developed by the Enterprise Hub of local regeneration charity City Gateway.  Whilst offering a high quality and professional service, Flavour Gateway is also a social enterprise, providing training and employment opportunities for local women.  The enterprise will also be opening a community café at its premises in Poplar which includes facilities such as a range of drop-in sessions, events and ongoing courses for women living in the area.

“The launch of Flavour Gateway is an exciting development to our enterprises as it gives unemployed women the opportunity to develop skills and experience in a professional and demanding business environment.  It also has the potential to make a significant financial contribution to parent charity, City Gateway” commented Yvette Elkana, Enterprise Hub Director at City Gateway.
