Delivered Catering
Freshly made food and drink, delivered right where you need it - your office, meeting room, or event space on the Canterbury campus. Great for team meetings, workshops, conferences, and catch-ups.
Whether you're hosting a conference, networking event, workshop, or training session, we have a range of catering options to help make your event a success.
All our food is freshly prepared on site. We can cater for a range of dietary requirements - just let us know when you book.
If you're catering for up to 50 people between 09.00 and 18.00, Monday to Friday, you can book through our easy-to-use online system.
Simply select your food and drink options, submit your booking, and we’ll take care of the rest.
If your event is for 50 people or more, or if you need catering outside of normal weekday hours (evenings or weekends), we’ll be happy to create a bespoke package for you.
To discuss your needs, please get in touch with our Conference and Events team. They’ll work with you to create a tailored catering solution for your event.

Internal catering can be delivered to offices and meeting rooms across the Canterbury campus. If your chosen location is above or below ground level, please ensure that lift access is available.
Please note that a small number of areas on campus are not eligible for delivery due to health and safety regulations. In such cases, the Conference and Events team will be happy to recommend a suitable alternative location.
Yes, we do provide delivered catering on the Medway campus.
For smaller events - such as meetings requiring drinks, snacks, or sandwiches - catering is provided by the University of Greenwich. To place an order, please complete the Medway Internal Hospitality Order Form and email it to pilkingtoncafe@gre.ac.uk.
For larger events, including barbecues, drinks receptions, conferences, or banquets, please contact the Conference and Events team by emailing internalcatering@kent.ac.uk or calling +44 (0)1227 828000 with the details of your requirements.
There is a minimum order charge of £15 for weekday deliveries and £100 for weekend deliveries. Orders that meet or exceed these values will not incur a delivery fee. However, a surcharge will be applied to any orders below the minimum value (£15 on weekdays and £100 at weekends). The exact surcharge amount will vary depending on the order total and the day of delivery. For further details, please contact the Conference and Events team.
We recommend scheduling your catering delivery at least 15 minutes before your event starts. Please ensure that your room booking allows for this additional time. Crockery, cups, and utensils will be provided for the number of guests booked.
On particularly busy days, deliveries may be made up to one hour before your requested time. If you’d prefer to avoid disruption during your meeting, you may wish to book a separate room nearby for storing and serving refreshments.
Please give as much notice as possible when placing your order, and no less than five working days before your event. This allows our team time to organise stock, staffing, and logistics.
Once your booking is confirmed, you can amend the number of attendees and catering items up to five working days in advance, based on final guest numbers and any known dietary requirements.
For events with up to 49 attendees, you can book online and manage your own catering - viewing, editing, or cancelling your order up to five working days before the event.
For events with 50 or more attendees, please email internalcatering@kent.ac.uk, and a member of the team will be happy to assist.
If you need to amend or cancel your booking within five working days of your event, please email internalcatering@kent.ac.uk and include your booking reference number.
Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled delivery will be charged in full. Cancellations made between 24 and 72 hours in advance will be charged at 50% of the total booking value. No cancellation fees will apply for events cancelled more than 72 hours before the scheduled start time.
Most meeting rooms are managed by the Timetabling, and you can book a room via their website.
