Catering and Food Services

You鈥檒l have an incredible range of dining choices at Manchester. Typically, groups have most of their meals served buffet-style in our cafeteria. Attendees love choosing from a variety of options at each meal, from entr茅e choices to salad bars and dessert tables, and everyone can enjoy as much as they like.

Our catering team works with you one-on-one to coordinate all your group鈥檚 meals, from cafeteria menus to truly elegant affairs. We have years of experience developing unique, healthy menu options for group members with special dietary needs, such as vegetarian, vegan, or particular ethnic preferences.

Fully customized

If you want something special, we can help you plan meals almost anywhere on campus. That might mean hors d鈥檕euvres for a reception outside a recital hall, a banquet in our Jo Young Switzer Center building, a pizza party in a residence hall den, or a picnic on the campus grounds. Whatever you choose, we鈥檒l work with you to make all your meals exceed your expectations. Be sure to view our catering guide for menu options and ideas.

On site full-service catering is available through Conference Services and Sodexo on our North Manchester campus. Our team is fully equipped to handle private meals and receptions of 50 to 500 people. Our conference facilities host some of the most prestigious events in the area and our banquet facilities are utilized for anniversaries, retirement and rehearsal dinners, award banquets, dinner-dances, and outdoor barbeques.
