National Waiters’ Day 2019 is taking place at the London Hospitality Festival on Sunday 8th September and is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the dedication, skill and hard work of all the great people working in hospitality and catering across the UK.
Founded by Fred Sirieix, General Manager of Galvin at Windows, National Waiters’ Day is now in its seventh year and is being organised once again by The Springboard Charity, who are collaborating for the first time on the event with the London Hospitality Festival.
The festival is free to attend for all hospitality staff as well as friends & family and aims to become the hospitality industry’s biggest staff summer party. The festival offers activities throughout the day such as football & softball tournaments, food stalls, live music and children’s entertainment.

Fred Sirieix, Founder of National Waiters’ Day said: “Since launching National Waiters’ Day in 2012, we’ve been able to engage so many people from all areas of hospitality to join up and celebrate the fantastic work being achieved. I am so proud to be a part of such a diverse and important industry and I hope that National Waiters’ Day will continue to grow and allow more people to choose careers in hospitality.”
