The Rugby Football Union launched England Rugby Hospitality on Thursday. After securing planning permission for the redevelopment of Twickenham Stadium’s East Stand, the RFU announced England Rugby Hospitality will become the exclusive provider of official matchday hospitality at the ground from autumn '18. The venture will also see Keith Prowse, the RFU’s long-standing official hospitality agent, become the exclusive sales agent for England Rugby Hospitality. The East Stand development will add 11,600 square meters of space over six levels. The new hospitality areas will celebrate the home of England Rugby. They will build on the stadium’s existing hospitality and diversify the hospitality offering. Fans will be provided with a range of options from informal dining experiences at "The Gate," a chop house-themed restaurant, to an upmarket restaurant offering, "The Lock," serving classic English food with a contemporary twist. The "East Wing" will consist of lounge spaces with bars and a concierge. The "Rose Garden" will be a roof garden with a mix of live cooking and live music. England Rugby Hospitality will begin operating immediately alongside Twickenham's officially-licensed operators (RFU).
