Catering
We provide catering services for Southern Cross University events and functions at our Gold Coast, Lismore and Coffs Harbour campuses.
Our teams do more than just serve food, manage events and offer the best possible produce, our philosophy runs much deeper. We favour local suppliers and are always aiming to reduce our carbon footprint by supporting regional, environmentally sustainable produce.
Whether you are looking for a delicious lunch that allows your guests to get the most out of themselves or a contemporary catering menu to take your event to the next level, we have you covered. Our teams can cater to any special requirements, including customised menus and dietaries including vegan, vegetarian, kosher, halal, pescatarian, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free and dairy-free.
