Catering

On-campus catering
U@MQ Crunch catering
Off-campus catering

Depending on your venue choice, you may select your own caterer - whether an on-campus option, or an external provider. When selecting your caterer you should be aware of the following:

• Some venues come with an on-site caterer
• Some venues have contractual arrangements with specific caterers
• Quotations from caterers are usually calculated on a minimum headcount. The final bill will depend on the actual number of guests in attendance.

Once you have selected your caterer, ensure you confirm the following with them:

1. What catering deadlines they work to
2. When confirmation is required about the menu and drinks list
3. When they will need information regarding any special dietary requirements your guests have like gluten free, vegetarian, kosher, or food allergies
4. When and how they want to receive updates from you
5. What date they require your final guest numbers.

On-campus catering

At any venue on-campus other than the U@MQ Building and MGSM, it is your choice as to which caterer you might use for your event – whether you use an on-site option, or an external supplier.
