-
Tell Us About Your University Event
Send the event date, London venue, guest count, event type, meal periods and dietary requirements. Include the number of students, faculty members, delegates, speakers and support staff who require catering.
For a multi-day event, include the programme for each day so breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks, networking food and dinner service can be planned around the timetable.
-
Choose Your Menu and Service Format
Choose from breakfast buffets, buffet lunches, coffee breaks, snack stations, networking food, themed buffets, multiple-course meals and formal plated dinners.
Review the university catering menus before deciding which formats suit the programme. Dietary choices can include vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten-free food.
-
Confirm the Catering Schedule
Confirm the menu, guest numbers, dietary breakdown, service periods and event timetable. The final schedule should show when breakfast, lunch, refreshments, networking food and dinner service will take place.
Pearl Lemon Catering then coordinates menu planning and event execution around the university programme.

Discuss Your University Event ScheduleWhy Choose Pearl Lemon Catering for University Events?
