Top Tier

From Humble Beginnings to Trusted Catering Partner

Rockpool Tour Catering started with a passion for providing exceptional catering solutions to tour managers. Over the years, we have grown into a trusted partner, delivering top-quality services to musical artists, tour crews, events, and venues around the world.

Our CEO Pete Bailey has been touring the world now for 35 years working with legends such as AC/DC, Nirvana, Oasis, Metallica, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Muse. Pete has literally been there, seen it and cooked it and has the tour passes to prove it!!

Having worked for various employers in the industry in 2008 Pete decided to strike out on his own and has not looked back since. Over the last decade or so Pete has worked extensively with Muse, Metallica and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and loves nothing more than planning a new tour with a new client.

As Pete says himself “touring can be tough and our aim is to provide a little bit of home for the crew so when they do get some downtime they are able to relax and enjoy the food we prepare and serve them. It is important to look after the crew so they feel well-nourished and looked after as they are important cogs in a very big machine.”
