Peppermint appointed as the new operator for dining and events space on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) is excited to be working in partnership with Peppermint Events, an award-winning bar and events specialist, to introduce a fresh dining, drinks and events concept. The versatile and rejuvenated space will open on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park this Spring.

The lease, spanning seven years with the option to extend, will cover the operation of the Podium building and external spaces situated by the ArcelorMittal Orbit and Slide on the Park. Peppermint will be investing and reimagining the existing space within the Podium footprint to create a unique offering for the area. The transformation will boast a stunning rooftop garden with panoramic views over East London, 300-cover café/restaurant, and hospitality space across two floors, and dedicated street food area. Guests can expect outdoor screenings, DJ’s, markets, and seasonal events throughout the year. The venue will also be available for private hires and corporate events.

The Terrace: a brand-new low-waste, hyper-seasonal and sustainable casual dining experience is also a versatile events space, complete with an enviable roof terrace overlooking London.

The Café: delivering an accessible and exciting café concept that serves breakfast, brunches, and lunches, this will be a space that welcomes both social and casual customers throughout the week, year-round.

The Courtyard: creating London’s newest outdoor F&B space with exciting new street food vendors from the local area and fast service drinks from new infrastructure whilst creating an easy ordering mechanic for the River terrace.

Peppermint has over 20 years of experience and innovation providing award-winning high-performance food and drink solutions to some of the UK’s greatest venues across the UK, including festivals and sporting events. The collaborative venture represents a significant development in reimagining the potential of urban food and drink spaces, breathing new life into the community, and offering a unique and dynamic environment to a host of events.

Situated in the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park by the landmark ArcelorMittal Orbit and Slide, the new space will be a testament to creativity and innovation. 

Both parties are committed to sustainable practices and eco-friendly initiatives. The venue will prioritise sustainability in its design, operations, and services, including collaborating with regional suppliers and manufacturers.
