Sports and event hospitality staff
Catering Services International (CSI) supplies bar staff, waiting staff, chefs and full event teams to sports venues, festivals, caterers and event organisers across the UK. Whether you need ten waiters for a corporate dinner or a large team for a race day, our local branches can help.
We've staffed sporting and hospitality events for over 35 years. Our consultants are ex-industry professionals, so we know what a busy match day or festival weekend needs.
Sporting events
We supply hospitality staff to over 100 sporting venues across the UK, including racecourses, rugby & football stadiums and cricket grounds. For large events we arrange on-site management for up to 200 staff, so you have one point of contact on the day.

Temporary, permanent and interim staff

Your guests expect high standards, and so do we. All our event staff are vetted, and we match people to the event, from fine dining in a hospitality box to a busy festival bar.
