Welcome BaxterStorey!

Our caterers BaxterStorey, provide you with a variety of exciting food to our campuses.

Graduate Centre

The Rainbow Room 

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:

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.
