Testimonials
"Managing and overseeing a lot of public events and engagement activity, you learn to value the importance of what some might perceive to be small details - your venue, the hospitality, the catering. Although only small parts of the overall experience a stakeholder or member of the public has when working with us, they really can make all the difference! I've been hugely impressed by the revamped internal catering offer and now don't hesitate using EAT@ Event Catering for a wide range of events. I have made all kinds of complicated requests and often given them very short notice but the team have always gone out of their way to help me. That could never be more true than during the British Science Festival, when we worked with staff across Catering, Hospitality and Accommodation in the months leading up to the Festival, making joint decisions about how best to cater for and accommodate our visitors. During the Festival itself, I saw staff responding effortlessly to a broad range of demands and conflicting priorities. I find they're a team of people who are committed to enabling activity, and when you have so many things to consider when planning large-scale events, it's reassuring to have these important details taken care of with such professionalism and enthusiasm."

The event was a huge success and that is partly down to the catering team who performed the food service seamlessly."

Comment Card
"I just wanted to pass on our THANKS and APPRECIATION once again for the wonderful catering that you and your team put together for our recent INTO Staff Conference (21-23 June 2013). As you know, we had a truly international gathering with some 200 delegates from right across the INTO network – including colleagues from all the UK and USA centres. We had some lovely, appreciative, positive feedback from many staff. In addition, everyone felt that they were extremely well catered for throughout the Conference, with coffee, tea, drinks and treats through the day! All the Conference delegates left with really good memories of their time here in Newcastle … and there is no doubt that food and drink, as ever, played a key part.
Thanks so much for helping us to make it a wonderful Conference."
