Chartwells Catering

 

Saint Mary’s University takes pride in our food service provider, Chartwells, which features fresh, made-from-scratch meals. Buffet-style meals utilize a traditional all-you-can-eat service. Hot and continental breakfasts are available with fresh eggs, hot potatoes, pastries, juices, cereals, and of course, piping hot coffee. Lunch and dinner offer a variety of entrées with the traditional accompaniments, a full soup and salad bar, and dessert selections. A full complement of beverages is available at each meal. Special dietary needs can be arranged as needed. Conference groups may elect to have all buffet-style meals or mix and match with catered food. Catering for banquets, snacks, breaks, parties, receptions, and picnics is also provided. Our professional staff is capable of providing delicious, attractive selections, from elegant dinners to theme buffets.

All guests hosting a catered event on campus must go through the Office of Event Services.
