We are committed to being fully transparent in what we serve so are working towards fully disclosing all nutritional information alongside the ingredients and allergen information which we already supply.
We understand the serious risks concerning food safety & allergies and to help us manage this, the University doesn’t allow any external catering onto campus.
Our kitchens handle multiple allergens and whilst we seek to avoid cross-contamination, there is always a risk of cross-contamination, including by other guests during service. Any customers with food allergies and intolerances should speak to their event organiser prior to the event taking place. All our products should be assumed to be ‘may contain’ allergens due to the risk of cross-contamination. Please speak to your Event Manager if you have any questions relating to allergens as we are able to cater for most if we know in advance of your event. To view full allergen & ingredient information, please visit: foodmenus.info. Please share this link with your guests so they can check the live information during the event.
Severe food allergies must be declared prior any event so we are able to determine if and how we can cater for that diet.
We have put together a training presentation for considering allergen and dietary requirements when placing a delivered catering catering order.
Items labelled as Vegan may contain traces of animal products. These items should not be selected to accommodate specific allergies (Milk, Egg). Please consult the wellness portal when selecting items to for guests who have declared allergies
You are able to use the meal and drink coupons in all café locations on the Whiteknights Campus. We only ask you for you to indicate the café you are likely to use so we can ensure there is enough stock for the number of coupons ordered, but you are not limited to the café showing on your booking form.
Hospitality Vouchers’ have now been replaced by ‘Hospitality Coupons’ and can be ordered in the same way you are already used to, via the Hospitality Coupon Order Form. The removal of cash value vouchers is a Finance requirement to ensure the University remains compliant with VAT regulations. The following UoR Hospitality Coupons can be ordered from Venue Reading for use in cafés across Whiteknights and London Road.
Unfortunately not, the items within a Meal Deal are fixed. With a coupon, you can select a sandwich, packet of crisps and a drink. For example, if you wanted fruit instead of crisps, you would have to pay for the fruit separately in addition to the coupon.
