Conferences & Delegate Days
We believe when it comes to conference catering in four core principles … The importance of communcation & timing; that food, when excellent, raises the energy in the room; that the food, when presented beautifully, increases the overall appreciation of the venue, the organisers & the conference itself & that a happy delegate is a productive delegate. We are experienced corporate caterers, reliable & flexible.
For your conference, product launch or party… We have venues ideally suited to large conventions or smaller scale meetings & events, we can even come to your place. We look forward to working with you.

Rehydration Stations
Help make your event environmentally responsible.
Delegates on average take three bottles of water a day from us. Some of these are finished, some not, but all the bottles have to be disposed of.
Even with the recycling of these bottles the environmental impact is considerable. Our solution is to offer refillable bio-plastic bottles made from sugar-cane not PET, production of which actually has a negative carbon footprint.
The bottles are printed with your logo and message and are taken away by your delegates at the end of the event.
Conscious consideration of the environment always makes a positive impression on delegates & the reduction in waste is astounding.
