Catering is the activity of providing food and drink for a group of people typically with services such as setup, staffing, and cleanup included. All food served must be from a limited pre-defined menu developed with forethought by the hosting department and must be ordered in advance. All catering orders shall be made in accordance with the University’s Single-use Plastics Requirements [https://sustainability.virginia.edu/single-use-plastics]. UVA funds should not be used to purchase, distribute, or sell: single-use plastic and polystyrene food service containers (plates, cups, bowls, and hinged containers), and single-use disposable plastic straws and cutlery (straws, forks, spoons, knives, and stirrers). Event planners are encouraged to request reusable and/or compostable materials when placing catering orders.
