External Food & Catering
While you are welcome to bring your own food or use an external caterer, cleaning and disposal fee may apply.
Alternatively, you may request services from one of our preferred caterers. Our recommended list of caterers have experience working at McGill University and are familiar with its regulations, policies, and procedures. Please contact the Events Administrator to explore your options!
If the Renter chooses to forego all catering services and bring their own food they will pay a cleaning, disposal and processing fee.
The fee is applicable for any food or drinks in any quantity: (e.g. coffee, bags of chips, juice boxes, pizza, samosas).
If the Renter fails to declare that they will be serving their own foods or drinks, the fee will be applied retrospectively and any future booking of SSMU space may be suspended.
