What catering options are available and who provides them?

All catering is provided by Blue Strawberry, the in-house catering team. They offer breakfast packages, meeting room packages, tea/coffee service, and can accommodate custom requirements. All catering must be pre-ordered and settled before the event as this covers staffing costs.
