National Geographic

One of the most experienced and trusted names in travel, National Geographic asked Mackintosh’s to caterer the grand launch of their flagship store in Regents Street. 

Guests were greeted by two human Egyptian statues, as well as a polar bear which made the public stand and stare from Regents Street shop window, while it interacted with the guests inside.  Mackintosh’s worked with National Geographic to develop a substantial menu fit for the occasion, as VIP guests flew in from Spain especially for the occasion. Champagne flowed as guests devoured the parmesan Reggiano, Iberico ham and chorizo followed by Mackintosh’s delicious canapés and bowl food. Everyone was entertained in the auditorium, as there was a fantastic show of jugglers and acrobatics.  The event was a great success and Mackintosh’s look forward to many more events at the National Geographic in the New Year.

More than a traditional retail environment, the Regent Street store features compelling interactive visual displays and state-of-the-art design dedicated to stimulating, educating and inspiring visitors to celebrate global cultures. In addition to its retail marketplace, the store features an exhibition area, auditorium, tapas café, travel desk and photography studio, set over three floors.
