18 Important Information Food Safety Hospitality Essex uses nominated suppliers for all its food products and therefore we cannot accept responsibility for any food items purchased outside and consumed on campus. In accordance with the Food Safety Act, customers are strongly recommended not to undertake the preparation of food themselves.

For further information regarding food safety at the University of Essex, please see the Occupational Health and Safety Advisory Service webpage at: Conferences Hospitality Essex works in partnership with Venue Essex for both events organised by internal departments and those for external clients which require the organisational skills and services of the Conference Office. If you are planning an event through the Conference Office, your catering requirements will be managed by them. Any queries regarding menus and pricing should be directed to venues@essex.ac.uk Customer Feedback As part of our ongoing commitment to customer service we include a short Customer Feedback form with all delivered catering. This lets us know if we have met your expectations with regards to criteria such as quality, value and presentation. We strongly encourage you to spend just a few minutes completing the form at the end of your event and leave it for us to collect with our equipment. If you are not in attendance please kindly encourage the event organiser to do this. Not only is this information essential to the continued development of our service, it also helps us to deal with any issues in a timely and efficient manner. Thank you for your co-operation.
