Catering and Hospitality

We are "in-house" caterers who are responsible for the provision of freshly produced, healthy and safe food for students, staff, and visitors to the College.

The catering team are committed to using wherever possible fresh locally sourced produce, buying low salt and low fat content ingredients, baking rather than frying and reducing fat, sugar and salt in our prepared dishes.
