Run the kitchen at Barnet Elizabethans RFC

We are not looking for a cook. We are looking for a food business that wants a home.

Barnet Elizabethans RFC, Byng Road, EN5, is offering a season licence to run its clubhouse kitchen from November 2026 to May 2027. Rent free. Fully equipped. A captive crowd every home weekend: around 40 senior players on Saturdays, 200 plus Minis and Juniors with their families on Sundays, and first refusal on three to five club dinners a season.

The club pays you per head for team meals with a guaranteed minimum income for the season, so you are never out of pocket on a quiet weekend. You keep all counter takings on top. Three-month break clause both ways.

Who we want

Someone who already trades: a caterer, street food business, cafe or pub kitchen with a food hygiene rating of 4 or 5 and public liability insurance.

What to do

• Come and see the kitchen on Sunday 25 October
• Send a short proposal by Friday 31 October: your business and experience, sample match-day and dinner menus with prices, your per-head fees, and two references
• Shortlisted businesses will be invited to cook a trial service on Sunday 8 November

Contact Mike Smith, Hon Secretary, via the Contact Us page on this site, and we will send you the full opportunity document with numbers and terms.
