Craven Cottage is one of English football’s most distinctive grounds: a compact Premier League stadium on the north bank of the Thames, with the listed cottage in one corner and the rebuilt Riverside Stand facing the river.
What happens here
- Fulham FC Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup home matches.
- Fulham Women and academy fixtures where scheduled.
- Premium hospitality, restaurants, conferences and private events, especially around the Riverside Stand.
Who runs hospitality and catering
Sodexo Live! is Fulham’s long-term venue and catering partner at Craven Cottage and Fulham Pier, covering hospitality, retail, bars, kiosks and non-matchday events under an eleven-year contract.
What’s it like to work here
Craven Cottage is smaller than Arsenal, Tottenham or Wembley, but the matchday operation is dense and high-touch. The Riverside Stand has increased the premium side of the operation, so the venue is particularly relevant for staff with restaurant, lounge or corporate-event experience.
For London hospitality workers, it is a strong fit if you want Premier League shifts with a more intimate, service-led feel than the capital’s biggest stadiums.
Other operators
Event-day cleaning, security and stewarding partners can vary by fixture and by non-matchday event.
