As our chef Ruairi Boyce says ‘With food being an integral part of any meeting or event, our catering team have always been proud to provide catering ‘as customisable as our campus’.
With an array of experience, and many years of Meetings & Events, our team of chefs are happy to accommodate any guests with food allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary requirements.
With plant-based diets becoming increasingly popular, our chefs feature vegetarian & vegan dishes widely on our menus, with healthy options, ‘clean foods’ and contemporary trends, wellness & mindfulness to the fore.
Our clients are encouraged to give our catering team a minimum of 7 days advance notice of any specific dietary requirements, which will allow us to accommodate all your delegates. We are also happy to work with our clients to develop custom bespoke menus in consultation with our catering team and nutritional experts for larger events.’
