Catering
A key element of any conference is the food provision for delegates

Whether your event is on the main University campus or in our nearby halls of residence, the University of Leeds’ in-house catering team will work with you to provide the highest standard of food.

We know, because our customers have told us so, that the food can make all the difference to the success of an event and so we strive to provide the highest possible standards of cuisine in all of our catering services.

Our team of award-winning chefs are able to produce everything from a small finger buffet to a full banquet menu. If you have any specific dietary requirements they will work with you to ensure that your menu meets the needs of your guests.

I just want to thank you for hosting the NASMA event so brilliantly. Everyone who attended was impressed both with the venue and facilities. The organisation from start to finish was so easy and stress free, which makes a very welcome change to past events I have organised – so the behind the scenes work is really appreciated!

The accommodation and food were extremely good and all these things combined made for a very successful event.

When there is a commercial need to introduce a business or industry to the University our experience shows this is best done on campus through University House. It provides a quality service, great cuisine and an experience customers will cherish and remember.
