Catering Consultants Newport | On The Pass Consultancy

Specialist Catering and Hospitality Consultancy for Newport's Food and Beverage Industry

On The Pass Consultancy provides expert catering consultancy services to businesses across Newport and the surrounding Gwent region. Newport is a city with a rapidly growing hospitality scene — from its thriving independent restaurant community to large hotel and contract catering operations — and with that growth comes real pressure on operators to run efficient, profitable, and well-structured businesses. That is exactly where we come in.

With over 30 years of hands-on experience across the full spectrum of hospitality — from independent restaurants and cafés to large-scale contract catering and hotel food and beverage operations — we provide Newport businesses with the practical, experienced guidance they need to make the right decisions and grow with confidence.

CATERING EQUIPMENT SALES AND CONSULTANCY Independent advice on commercial catering equipment for Newport businesses — from single items to complete kitchen fit-outs. We ensure your investment delivers long-term efficiency and value.

COMMERCIAL KITCHEN DESIGN Expert kitchen planning and design for Newport restaurants, hotels, pubs and contract caterers. Built around operational efficiency, compliance, and long-term performance.

MENU DEVELOPMENT AND PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS We review your current menu, identify where margin is being lost, and build a strategy that improves profitability without compromising quality or guest experience.

STAFF TRAINING Practical, on-site staff training tailored to your Newport operation — covering kitchen workflow, food preparation, and front-of-house service standards.

AI-ENHANCED OPERATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY Honest, jargon-free advice on AI and technology tools for Newport catering businesses — we tell you what's genuinely useful and what isn't worth the investment.

We are based in Llandevaud, Newport — right on your doorstep. As a Newport-based business ourselves, we understand the local hospitality market and the specific opportunities and challenges that come with operating in this city and the wider Gwent region.

Every engagement begins with a free initial consultation where we listen first and recommend second. We do not take on work where we cannot see a clear path to delivering real value. Whether you are opening a new Newport restaurant, refurbishing a kitchen, struggling with food costs, or simply want an expert second opinion on your operation, we would be glad to have a conversation.
