Activities

Surrey-based Bartlett Mitchell is a privately-owned contract caterer that was set up in 2000 by Ian Mitchell and Wendy Bartlett after they had worked together in the sector for more than 20 years.

The two started out handling staff catering contracts for British Airways in the UK. Before setting up Bartlett Mitchell, they were at Compass’s business and industry division, Eurest, for three-and-a-half years, Mitchell as managing director for London and Bartlett as operations director for the City of London.

Bartlett Mitchell operates in the South-east of England, including London, Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Sussex.

It specialises in the business and industry and education sectors and operates staff restaurants, executive dining, fine dining, vending, café-delis, hospitality services, and conference catering.
