Gather & Gather, UCL’s hospitality provider, has launched their new Spring/Summer 2025 menu: a colourful celebration of seasonal ingredients and global culinary influences, thoughtfully designed with sustainability at the heart.
The refreshed menu features an exciting variety of dishes inspired by regional and traditional cooking styles. From crispy Korean pancakes to hearty American dishes, the menu brings together flavours from around the world to suit every taste.
For those with a sweet tooth, the selection includes delicate patisserie bakes and light, summery fruit tarts - ideal for elevating any afternoon tea or meeting break. A thoughtfully selected wine list is also available to complement the seasonal dishes.
The menu also reflects Gather & Gather’s commitment to ethical and environmentally responsible catering. More than half of all’ingredients are locally sourced and seasonal, supporting British producers and biodiversity. All meat served is Red Tractor certified, ensuring it meets strict animal welfare standards. Products such as bananas, chocolate, tea, coffee and sugar are from Fairtrade certified suppliers to ensure ethical supply chains.
Winner of the 2024 Sustainability Impact Award, Gather & Gather takes pride in prioritising sustainability in their menu development. Most dishes are carbon-labelled, helping customers make informed, lower-impact choices. To further encourage sustainable habits, Gather & Gather has introduced initiatives such as the ’ Planet Points’ rewards scheme , which rewards customers low-carbon meal choices, and the ’ Return to Earn ’ deposit scheme, designed to reduce waste from disposable coffee cups at the UCL East campus.
UCL staff can explore the full menu and place booking for catering through the Food at UCL website for events and meetings, making it easy to bring fresh, seasonal flavours to every occasion.
