The AMRC has a requirement for the provision of hospitality to suit a range of requirements from hot and cold refreshments, breakfasts, cakes, pastries, sandwich lunches, finger buffets and canapes. The occasions range from departmental meetings, external visits and celebrations. The expectation is that each hospitality business can provide an extensive range of hot and cold drinks and food, with options available to meet the needs of customers with specific dietary and lifestyle choices. In addition, it is important that each company can provide this choice within a varied budget from economy through to luxury or bespoke options. (Numbers to cater – up to 100 – 200 for larger events. Some buffets may only be for 2 people, so delivery is still required)
