Case Study: Tower Hamlets Youth Project
From youth centre opening days to community celebrations.
When the Tower Hamlets youth project opened 10 new youth centres across the borough, our team was invited to provide refreshments at its opening days.
We continue to work closely with the project and regularly attend its events, serving gatherings of around 50 young people through to community fairs with hundreds attending. This ongoing relationship has given our team hands-on experience supporting youth and community events of different sizes.
10 Priorities for Schools, Colleges & Universities
1. Education and youth experience — Our team has extensive experience working in the education sector and with youth projects across London.
2. DBS-checked staff — All our staff are DBS-checked, giving organisers reassurance about the team attending their event.
3. Food hygiene — All staff hold Level 2 Food Hygiene qualifications, and we hold a Food Hygiene Rating of 5.
4. Safeguarding awareness — We follow your site’s signing-in, identification and safeguarding arrangements, with a designated contact for concerns. Our catering team works alongside your staff; supervision of students and vulnerable guests remains with your organisation.
5. Allergen awareness — Our trained team is well versed in allergens. We confirm ingredient information for the agreed menu and discuss individual requirements and cross-contact limitations before booking. Share allergies early so arrangements can be communicated to guests and supervising staff.
6. SEN and accessibility — We have experience working with students with special educational needs, vulnerable young people and adults. Tell us about communication, mobility or sensory needs so we can agree a welcoming serving setup and suitable queue arrangements.
7. Insurance and safety paperwork — We carry £10 million public liability insurance and use PAT-tested electrical equipment. Risk assessments and method statements are available on request.
8. Reliable event planning — We agree arrival, setup and service times around your timetable, including busy breaks and concentrated demand. We also plan delivery access, power, safe equipment placement and any outdoor arrangements with your organiser.
9. Clear pricing and portions — Your quote sets out equipment, staffing, serving quantities and hire duration, plus any delivery, parking or extra charges. Servings are limited to the agreed allowance; tell us if you expect repeat visits.
10. Inclusive food choices — Ask about vegetarian, vegan, halal and other dietary options. Availability and suitability are confirmed for your chosen menu before booking.
Treats for Your Event
Explore popcorn hire, candyfloss, mini pancakes and ice cream for a celebration menu. Add hot dogs for a savoury option or giant games for activities alongside the food.
