Our new
Green Events package
Feel-good food and drink
We work closely with the University’s Food Fellows catering team to bring you the best food and drink for your conference, meeting or event.
Meals are freshly prepared by trained chefs, ingredients are seasonal and additive-free, meat can be traced back to the farm and meet UK animal welfare standards, eggs are free range and fish is sustainable. Whatever your dietary or religious requirements, we can cater for it. We work with local suppliers to make sure our dishes are sustainable and authentic.
There are no nasties here, just tasty food and drink which are great for you and the planet.
