Charity Centre offers a variety of catering options, from a range of sandwich menus with delicious fillings to more formal finger-buffet lunches.
Food is freshly prepared on the day and we cater for special dietary requirements. All refreshments and lunches are served in our basement Dining Room, which can also be used for informal breaks between 9.00 and 16.00.
You can order at the time of booking or up to two weeks prior to your event.
There is no obligation to eat in the Charity Centre – there are sandwich bars and restaurants nearby. We ask that you do not bring food to eat here.

You can choose from 10 standard menu options listed below. These cannot be varied, but if you are a group of 20 or more, you are welcome to order from more than one menu.
Where sandwiches feature on the menu, we are also happy to vary the proportion of vegetarian and non-vegetarian fillings, and the proportion of brown and white bread. There are also additional options, such as, extra salad and cakes.
If any of your delegates have special dietary requirements, we will do our very best to cater for them.
