Your property brief
Catering and Hospitality Services
Changing attendance, a new workplace or inconsistent guest support can expose gaps between food provision, room readiness and service delivery. Establish the people, times and activities involved. The right arrangement follows actual demand rather than a standard package disconnected from the workplace.
Discuss this service
What the service can include
Our offering brings together workplace catering, vending and refreshments, hospitality services and hospitality support. The brief can cover an individual service point or a wider workplace arrangement. It identifies the tasks, supplies, equipment and reporting needed, with clear handoffs to cleaning, reception and facilities teams.
We provide every service in our catalogue, including the individual services within each trade, for all sectors and locations listed on this website. Tell us what your property needs so we can agree the work, access and timing.
What to consider
Food-business responsibility, allergen information and equipment maintenance must remain explicit. A service role does not automatically include every connected task. Agree who prepares or supplies food, answers ingredient questions, maintains equipment and authorises changes to the service.
A closer look at the property brief.
The work starts with the property.Before we visit
Provide the property details, available rooms and equipment ownership. Identify the operator responsible for food and guest service, shared-space permissions and delivery access. Agree cleaning, waste and reinstatement responsibilities before setup.
How we help
We define the demand and practical facilities, then agree the service activities and responsibilities. Mobilisation coordinates supplies, access and local information. Handover gives the responsible team a usable brief, with a clear route for changes, faults and feedback.
What affects cost and timing
Service hours, take-up, menu or product range, staffing requirements and equipment affect cost. Setup and recurring supply should be distinguished. The proposal should include preparation and clearing so the complete service can be compared.
Property and sector applications
Managing agents need responsibilities and approvals connected to the correct owner. Residential blocks need communal and individual areas distinguished. Retail and hospitality need work coordinated with customers and occupiers. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with scope suited to the property and the people using it.
Local coverage
We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. View all locations.
For several properties, provide separate access and occupancy information. A remote owner can nominate a local representative while retaining a clear route for approving the work.
Frequently asked questions
Can refreshments be arranged without full catering?
Yes. Define the required offer, equipment and replenishment responsibilities as a separate service.
Does hospitality support include food preparation?
Only where expressly included with the appropriate food-service arrangements. Support and catering are different scopes.
Who maintains the kitchen equipment?
Identify the responsible party and maintenance scope in the agreement rather than assume it follows from food provision.
Can shared facilities support the service?
Confirm access, storage, cleaning, ownership and operating responsibilities before committing to the arrangement.
Knowledge and guidance
Read kitchen-extraction cleaning guidance where the service uses an equipped kitchen, and keep those equipment responsibilities distinct from food and guest service. Official guidance provides the relevant context for this service. Browse the Knowledge Centre.

A new service, changing guest expectations or repeated gaps between teams can prompt a review. Define the experience required and the tasks that create it. Reception, refreshments, room readiness and issue handling should connect through clear responsibilities rather than depend on ad hoc requests.
Variable guest numbers, overlapping events or unclear ownership of setup and clearing can create avoidable disruption. Establish the activity and the support required at each stage. An event plan that covers arrival but not room reset or waste leaves work unresolved after guests depart.
Empty machines, unclear cleaning responsibility or an offer that no longer suits the workplace can justify a review. Assess demand by location and time of day. A lightly used reception point has different requirements from a busy staff area operating across shifts.
A new workplace, changing attendance or an inconsistent food offer can justify a catering review. Establish who needs food, when they need it and where it will be prepared or served. A headcount alone does not describe shift patterns, meeting demand or the peaks a service must handle.
