Catering and Food Service

Serving Food/Beverages

The HUB is one of the few buildings on campus that allows food or beverages in most of its meeting rooms. We are only able to provide this service by recovering the costs of cleaning and maintaining these rooms through a cleaning/maintenance fee which is added to any reservation that plans to have food or beverage in our rooms.

  • Any reservation which involves food or beverages will be charged a non-refundable cleaning/maintenance fee (indicated on our rate schedule).
  • A damage deposit may also apply in some cases.
  • Bay Laurel Catering [formerly UW Catering] can provide food for catered events. For information, call 206-685-2051.

You may provide your own food or catering under the following additional requirements:

  • Your food service must be reviewed and approved in advance by Environmental Health & Safety, 206-616-1623. You may download the Application for Temporary Food Service Event from the EHS website. You may also obtain one from our office or it will be sent with your reservation confirmation.
  • Off-campus caterers must be notified that no kitchen facilities are available, no running water is available, and that they are responsible for appropriately bagging and disposing of their own garbage.
  • If you are bringing your own food, it is best to provide commercially prepared food or items purchased at a grocery store. Service of home prepared foods is discouraged since several health requirements need to be satisfied. Please contact the Sanitarian with Environmental Health and Safety with questions about homemade food items.
  • Cambrio Warmers are allowed in the HUB; however, we cannot accommodate cooking on our tables with gas or electric cooking elements. Please have all food prepared in advance.
  • Please arrange table linens with your Caterer, the HUB does not supply these items.
