We source quality, seasonal ingredients from the very best suppliers and producers through our regional network and our chefs design inclusive menus inspired by the seasons and global trends, tailored to meet the preferences of the park’s occupiers.
Food sits at the centre of a much broader experience at Nexus, it’s about the team, the customer journey, and creating the buzz and atmosphere that only great hospitality can deliver. We’re passionate about coffee and its role in the workplace, giving people a lift, encouraging breaks and fuelling conversation.By listening to the rhythms of the park, we’ve curated a café experience that goes beyond just food and drink to create a welcoming hub for people to meet, recharge and engage with one another.”
