Why work in catering at The University?

We’re absolutely bursting with passion for what we do. We’re proud to be part of our University and the hospitality/events we look after for the staff, students and visitors every day. We’re passionate about sustainability, about great local produce and about new ideas and thinking.

With such a broad and varied range of business across the week, the department is always a buzz of activity – no two days are ever the same!

The business operates 7-days a week, accommodating events and hospitality both daytime and evenings across the week, including weekends.
