Great Coffee that does great things.

100% Fair-trade Arabica beans,

100% Organic certified.

We use first crop Organic Arabica beans, which are the best beans

around for quality and taste. Our coffee is Triple Certified by the

Fair-trade Foundation, Rainforest Alliance and Soil Association,

which means it’ll do great things for the places where it grows and

the people who grow it too. The Rainforest Alliance ensures our

beans help to conserve nature and protect wildlife. The Fair-trade

Foundation checks that we pay a fair price to the farmers who grow

our coffee, which means they are guaranteed a price that covers their

production costs and an extra premium is paid to invest in their local

community.

Organic farming reduces environmental pollution and the release of

greenhouse gases from food production by restricting the use of

artificial chemical fertilisers and pesticides. These farms rely on

developing a healthy, fertile soil and growing a mixture of crops.

Great tea that does great things 100% of our tea is organic certified.

The USDA checks that our farmers reduce environmental pollution

by swapping artificial fertilisers and pesticides for natural farming that

builds a healthy, fertile soil.

Dietary Requirements

Please inform us at the time of booking of any special dietary requirements that

your guests may have, particularly allergies. Once we receive this information,

our chefs will compose an alternative menu for those guests, taking into

consideration their requirements. For guests requiring Kosher meals, please be

advised that there is an additional charge for this option and a minimum notice

of 5 working days is required ('working days' being Monday - Friday).

Please be advised that in all our kitchens throughout Birkbeck we use nuts and

nut derivatives, please advise your guests of this when requesting dietary

requirements from them.

For all Formal Dining events, unfortunately, due to the logistics of service, we are

unable to offer an À la carte style service. As such all guests are required to have

the same starter, same main course and same dessert. We will of course take

into consideration those guests with special dietary requirements.

Sell & Return

Only wines are available for return. It is your responsibility ensure these are left

in a secure location overnight and to communicated with room booking team or

catering team in the next 24 hours

Sodexo are the holders of the liquor licence for events here at Birkbeck and

are permitted in designated areas to serve alcohol from 10.00hrs until 23.00hrs

Monday – Saturday and from 10.00hrs until 22.30hrs on Sundays. Should you

wish to extend the hours of service for your event, please contact the catering

office, as we will need to apply for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) from the

local council. Please be advised that all charges incurred in the application of

the TEN will be borne by the event organiser and not Sodexo. For your

information, it can take up to 4 weeks in busy times for a TEN to be granted

by the council but they can also be declined, in such cases any charges

incurred by Sodexo will still pass to the event organiser.

Cancellation charges

0% charge on 3 working days or more notice,

50% charge with 2 working days’ notice

100% charge with less than 2 working days’ notice.

We use a sustainable re-usable glass bottle for water at Birkbeck and we have a

dedicated delivery and collection team who will collect all the crockery and glassware

after your event. Please be advised that the bottles are the property of Sodexo and

there is a charge of £5.00 per bottle, for non-returned bottles which will be added to

you.

The cost of labour we will advise you on the level of staffing that we would

recommend for your event based on our experience. Should you prefer a higher level

of staffing to what we recommended, then an additional labour charge for staffing will

be incurred at the rate of £12.75 per staff per hour, minimum of 4hours.

Additional Charges

The following corkage charges apply to alcoholic drinks not brought through Sodexo:

£1 per bottle of beer, £3.50 per bottle of wine and £5.00 per bottle of sparkling wine,

prosecco or champagne.

their guests, in order to facilitate this offer there is an additional charge. For events of

1-40 guests the charge is £50 and this provides you with 1 bar waiter, for events 41-80

guests the charge is £100 and provides you with 2 bar staff.
