Rue provides a full range of consulting and design services for the professional foodservice industry.
We bring our creativity and passion for foodservice operations and design to each new project. Our clients choose to work with us because we take the time to listen and understand their business needs and objectives. Whilst building a plan to deliver those objectives both on time and to budget.

At Rue, our priority is to be your innovative and trusted independent catering consultancy, delivering commercially sustainable and culturally sympathetic catering operations.
We work in partnership with organisations looking for specialist advice to develop new cafes, restaurants, bars and event catering as well as supporting those wishing to improve the performance and customer experience of their existing food and drink operations.
In addition to catering, we have the experience and expertise to offer advice on other soft FM services including cleaning, reception, portering, car parking, security and waste management.
Founded by business partners Gayle Appleby-Merry, Simon Pollard, Chris Stanley and James Stacey, Rue Consultancy was established to focus on supporting the Business and Industry Sector, in its diverse needs around catering and soft Fm.
