Two prominent entities in Colombo’s hospitality scene have joined forces to enhance event management with the launch of ‘Havelock City Banquets by Green Cabin’. This collaboration marks a significant step for Green Cabin, a company with a 142-year history, as it ventures deeper into the events, weddings, and banquets sector.
Through a strategic alliance with Havelock City, Cyril Rodrigo’s Restaurants (Pvt) Ltd, commonly known as Green Cabin, will oversee the management and operations of banquet facilities at the venue. This partnership combines the exceptional event infrastructure of Havelock City with Green Cabin’s extensive experience in catering and hospitality, offering a comprehensive solution for weddings, corporate events, private parties, and large social gatherings in Colombo.
This venture is a pivotal moment in Green Cabin’s ongoing growth strategy, as the company seeks to broaden its hospitality offerings beyond its established restaurant and bakery operations. Under this new partnership, Green Cabin will act as the exclusive catering provider for all events held at the venue, delivering a full range of culinary and hospitality services backed by years of industry expertise.
With a rising demand for professionally managed event spaces that offer convenience, high-quality service, and exceptional dining experiences, ‘Havelock City Banquets by Green Cabin’ is positioned to cater to a more discerning market that values seamless event execution from a single, reliable provider.
Chirath Devasurendra, Managing Director of Cyril Rodrigo’s Restaurants (Pvt) Ltd, expressed his enthusiasm about the launch, stating, “For generations, Green Cabin has been integral to significant moments in the lives of Sri Lankan families. The introduction of Havelock City Banquets by Green Cabin is a natural continuation of this legacy, merging our hospitality heritage, trusted service, and dedication to quality with a venue that meets the needs of modern celebrations, corporate functions, and social gatherings.”
Pravir Samarasinghe, CEO/Director of Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC, also commented on the collaboration, stating, “Havelock City has always been envisioned as a destination that provides exceptional living, lifestyle, and community experiences. By partnering with Green Cabin, we are enhancing our event offerings, blending premium banquet facilities with a reputable hospitality partner, thus creating a venue that aligns with the expectations of today’s sophisticated clientele.”
Situated in one of Colombo’s key mixed-use developments, Havelock City Banquets features a modern ambiance suitable for a wide variety of functions, from small gatherings and weddings to conferences and large celebrations. Clients will benefit from Green Cabin’s management and catering expertise, which includes tailored menus, professional event coordination, and high service standards honed over years in the hospitality field.
For Green Cabin, this partnership reinforces its longstanding reputation in catering and food services. While the brand is well-known for its restaurants and bakeries, it has also carved out a significant niche in outdoor catering and event hospitality, serving a diverse range of private and corporate clients throughout Sri Lanka.
The establishment of Havelock City Banquets by Green Cabin further solidifies the company’s standing in Sri Lanka’s hospitality industry and demonstrates its commitment to exploring growth avenues beyond traditional dining experiences.
