Welcome toVilla Park

Villa Park’s reputation as one of the finest sports stadia in the country is enhanced by function rooms and supporting facilities carefully designed for versatility, performance and client satisfaction.

For either business or private use, our extensive range of high-quality, state-of-the-art amenities is enhanced by exceptional service, award-winning catering and a commitment to the highest standards of hospitality.

The club recognises the importance of sustainability and believes that this must consist of a harmonious relationship between economic, environmental and social progress. Our strong community work constantly strives to further social progress in the local area and beyond and this has been supported by ground breaking projects such as Restaurant VMF (Villa Midlands Food) and our allotment project.

For more information on the Restaurant VMF and allotment projects, please visit our website www.avhe.co.uk

We look forward to welcoming you to Villa Park and to ensuring the events we host on your behalf are enjoyable, memorable and successful.

At Aston Villa we recognise that what we do today has an impact on the world of tomorrow. We operate in the heart of the country, in the second city in a diverse and challenging environment.

Through what we do, coupled with our beliefs, we champion responsibility, sustainability and ethical practice. We are passionate about using locally sourced produce and ingredients wherever possible.

Take a look at some examples of what’s going on behind the scenes at Villa Park.

OurMenus

• Plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and salads are offered to encourage the guidelines for 5-a-day fruit and vegetables

• Minimal saturated fat is used in our cooking processes being replaced with lower fat alternatives such as olive and sunflower

oil. We only use lower fat mayonnaise and we make our own very low fat natural yogurt which is used extensively throughout

our recipes

• Minimal salt is used throughout all processes. We have reduced the salt content in our recipes to ensure that our food

offerings fall well below the Food Standards Agency’s guidelines for daily salt allowances for adults

• No added butter is used to finish vegetables although it is available for clients to add if so desired. There are no hydrogenated

or trans fats present in any of our food

• All dishes wherever possible follow more modern healthier recipes
