Its work will focus on offering food for the Stewards' Enclosure, which is accessible to members only, throughout the week-long rowing event. The total value of the contract is £7 million and it will last for five years.

Andrew Latham, the group's business director for sport, leisure and hospitality, commented: "It is an honour to have the opportunity to be able to continue to work with the team at the Regatta and support such a prestigious event.

"We are really looking forward to continuing to evolve the food and experience we provide, building on our success at the Regatta and the excellent feedback we've had from visitors over so many years."

Regatta chairman Mike Sweeney said he is delighted to continue the event's partnership with the Compass Group as the firm has consistently delivered a high quality service over the past 15 years.
