Catering

Unlike many other venues who insist you use in-house catering we recognise that clients need choice. To give clients maximum flexibility we work with a range of approved catering contractors so that clients can choose their caterer and budget for catering. This ensures that clients have a good cost/value/quality delivery on catering.

We also work with the major Hotels in Belfast and catering can be provided by them. Our catering options are the most flexible in the market.
