The two-year deal, which began on 1 August 2021 and has a value of £1.5m, will see Gather & Gather bring its ‘innovative’ menus to multiple outlets across the university’s two campuses on Holloway Road and Aldgate.
Gather & Gather is part of CH&CO, a specialist catering and hospitality company that operates throughout the UK and Ireland.
Elizabeth McGowan, head of events, hospitality & business services for London Metropolitan University, said: “We look forward to working collaboratively with Gather & Gather to bring our university community exciting food experiences on campus. Providing the nutrition needed to support our learning community, whilst of course being great value for money.”
Students, employees and visitors can look forward to fresh concepts, such as street food vendors through Gather & Gather’s newly formed partnership with Karnivalfood and a new artisan coffee offer.
Rob Fredrickson, managing director for Gather & Gather, added: “It’s fantastic that Elizabeth and the team share our vision and aspirations around the positive impact brilliant food and drink experiences can have on people – bringing them together whatever the occasion or location.
“We’re introducing fresh and exciting concepts to the two campuses and together we will make a real difference to university life and the community.”
