Met Food: Cafes on campus
Welcome BaxterStorey!
Our caterers BaxterStorey, provide you with a variety of exciting food to our campuses.
The Junction has now closed for an exciting refurbishment, watch this space for more information, however during this time we have made changes to the Rocket to provide a catering offer in there along with space for socialising, group works and games.
And a reminder, if you bring a reusable cup to one of our catering outlets/cafes, you get a 25p discount on all hot drinks.
We would love to get your feedback
We would be delighted to hear from you about your thoughts on our catering facilities and food, so we can make improvements that meet your needs and preferences. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are eager to hear what you have to say!

Future of catering
We will be looking at setting up our gardening club with the aim of having an onsite garden so we can grow our produce and work with the sustainability team.
Throughout this year, we will be working with BaxterStorey; we plan to further develop menus, flavours and styles of service to create a new catering strategy that will take us into a new long-term contract tender. We need your input and feedback to make this work. To let us know what you think, scan the QR codes in the catering outlets or drop us an email at catering@londonmet.ac.uk.
We will be commencing the Catering Working Group, made up of staff and students, to discuss our needs, and you can complete our survey to give your opinions on our catering needs.

Notice: Changes to Catering Service
To better manage our costs, we have decided to discontinue the use of Spoonfed, the hospitality portal, for future bookings.
We encourage you to consider alternative options when planning hospitality for your events or meetings. Should you require hospitality services, please contact:
- Daniel Caleb, Events and Hospitality Services Manager: d.caleb@londonmet.ac.uk
- Roxana Buboi, Service Delivery Manager: r.buboi@londonmet.ac.uk
Please note that all hospitality requests will be evaluated based on current demand, and approval is not guaranteed.
Hospitality Policy Guidelines
Internal Meetings:
- Refreshments should only be ordered for meetings involving University staff if the meeting is scheduled to last more than four hours.
Meetings with External Attendees:
- Refreshments and lunch may be provided for meetings with external guests. Key considerations include:
- The ratio of external guests to LMU staff.
- The prestige and expectations of the event.
- Potential to enhance the University's reputation or profile.
- Potential to generate income for the University.
- Alignment with the University's strategic aims.
When requesting hospitality for external meetings, please include a rationale explaining how the event will:
- Enhance the student experience.
- Generate income.
- Improve the University's reputation and profile.
- Support further strategic aims.
- Foster community engagement.
For requests funded by your departmental budget, contact catering@londonmet.ac.uk for a quote and ensure a PO is raised before confirmation.
If additional event support is required, please refer to the Events Guide for further information.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
