Amendment No. 4 to Schedule TO and Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D

     This statement constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 26, 2004, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on March 23, 2004, Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on March 26, 2004, and Amendment No. 3 filed with the Commission on April 9, 2004 (as amended, the “Schedule TO”) by Yorkmont Five, Inc., a California corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Compass Group USA Investments, LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership (“Parent”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all the outstanding shares of common stock, no par value (the “Shares”), of Creative Host Services, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), at a purchase price of $3.40 per Share, net to the seller, in cash without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 26, 2004 (as amended, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which were filed with the Schedule TO, as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. This statement also constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D initially filed with the Commission on March 1, 2004 by Purchaser and Parent and as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on April 9, 2004.

     Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings specified in the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule TO.

Items 8 and 11

     Items 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference to the information contained in the Offer To Purchase, are amended and supplemented by adding the following:

     “The initial offering period, as previously extended, expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, April 8, 2004. After the expiration of the initial offering period, Purchaser commenced a subsequent offering period which began at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on Friday, April 9, 2004, and expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, April 14, 2004 (the “Subsequent Offering Period”). During the Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser accepted for payment and promptly paid for all validly tendered Shares, as they were tendered, at a price of $3.40 per Share, which was the same price offered for Shares tendered in the initial offering period. As a result of the initial offering period and the Subsequent Offering Period, the Purchaser has accepted for payment and promptly paid for an aggregate of 8,637,444 Shares, or 94.2% of all outstanding Shares.

     Parent intends to complete the acquisition of the Company through a merger of Purchaser with and into the Company (the “Merger”) as soon as practicable in accordance with Section 1110 of the CGCL that authorizes the completion of the Merger without a vote of the shareholders of the Company. The Merger will be effected by the filing of a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California, which Parent intends to file on Friday, April 16, 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all remaining publicly held Shares (other than Shares owned by shareholders of the Company who properly exercise dissenters’ rights pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL) will be acquired for $3.40 per Share, in cash, without interest, in the Merger. Following the Merger, the Shares will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

     On April 15, 2003, Parent issued a press release announcing the expiration of the Subsequent Offering Period. A copy of the press release issued by Parent on April 15, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(K) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
