2 IT S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. When you host an event at MCEC, you don t just get a space to hold your event. You get an environment that s shaped around your event - and that includes the food. Keeping your visitors satisfied with great food is a must, and we ve got plenty of solutions to make sure everyone s well fed throughout the day. From coffee carts to food trucks, pop-up food stalls are a fun and easy way to amplify your event and delight your hungry customers. For food that caters for high volume on demand, we have plenty of kiosks situated around our venue, and we ll happily tailor menus to complement your event. And with permanent cafes and a bar right here onsite (opening July 2018), you can feel confident all your guests needs are met under one roof.

3 HERE S A TASTE OF WHAT YOU LL FIND. We regularly visit farmers and producers across Victoria to source our meat, fruit and vegetables, supporting the growth of small businesses and decreasing our food miles. Our team of award-winning pastry chefs are in the kitchen baking pastries, cakes and muffins before the sun comes up. So no matter what treat you select you know it ll be fresh and delicious. Our professional baristas pour over 500,000 coffees a year. The best part? Every coffee is enjoyed from a biodegradable cup, which means you re caring for the environment while you caffeinate. We have long-standing relationships with Launch Housing and OzHarvest, and donate any surplus food to those in need.
