July 31, 2024

VenuesWest, who own and operate HBF Park on behalf of the Western Australian Government, has appointed VenuesLive to take the reins of the food and beverage services along with corporate hospitality offerings at the venue.

This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for Perth’s rectangular stadium, promising an enhanced culinary experience for all patrons and corporate hospitality guests.

VenuesLive, which also operator Perth’s Optus Stadium, is known for its quality and customer satisfaction, with their first class food offerings receiving significant recognition, both in Western Australia and nationally.

The reigning Caterer of the Year in Australia (National Restaurant & Catering Awards for Excellence, 2023), VenuesLive has also been inducted into the Restaurant and Catering Institute of WA’s Hall of Fame, the Prix d’Honneur, after the venue won the Gold Plate three years in a row.

Advising that delivering a new and improved food and beverage service to the patrons of HBF Park was an exciting opportunity for his VenuesLive WA team, Optus Stadium Chief Executive, Mike McKenna stated “we were proud to deliver catering services for the five matches held at HBF Park last year as part of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

“We will be taking all the favourite foods fans at Optus Stadium love to HBF Park, such as our Loaded Butter Chicken Chips, Texan Dog and Popcorn Cauliflower, while recognising the existing preferences of fans of home teams the Perth Glory and Western Force.

“It’s really exciting to be given the opportunity to refresh the corporate hospitality offering and take it in a new direction.”

Fans can expect a wide range of options from the traditional stadium food staples that fans demand and enjoy, to the more innovative event specific specials.

HBF Park has a long history of hosting some of the best teams and artists in the world and offering world-class experiences to the people of Western Australia.

Ticket holders to the NRL match between the Dolphins and Sydney Roosters at the venue on Friday 2nd August will be the first to experience the new offerings and varied menu.

VenuesWest Chief Executive David Etherton remarked on the positive development and maturation of the culinary offerings at the heritage-listed venue, adding “we look forward to working closely with VenuesLive to enhance the customer experience at HBF Park and we are confident that the new appointment will be well received by our customers and stakeholders.”
