From meetings and events, to catering, weddings and hospitality - we aim to be best in class.
What makes us unique?
The University of Sheffield is unique in many ways. One important way in which we’re different is that we self deliver all of our catering, events and hospitality services.
Supporting our University
Our range of hospitality, catering and corporate services are operated by UNICUS, a wholly owned subsidiary of The University of Sheffield – we have no shareholders or dividend payments and operate on a service first approach. Any surpluses returned are reinvested into our University.
Sustainability
From #superfreshmilk delivered from just a few miles away by Our Cow Molly to our locally roasted coffee - we're committed to minimising our environmental impact and supporting the communities from which we source our products.
Our people
We are proud of our talented and award winning team. We’ve celebrated success and received industry acclaim at the TUCO competitions and CUBO awards for our skills in catering and hospitality. Our chef team includes three Master Chefs of Great Britain, one of the sector’s highest accolades, and we’ve welcomed many renowned local and celebrity chefs to collaborate with us at many fantastic, high profile events.
Our Services
