No Hidden Costs | Commitment to the Environment | Farm Fresh Food

Located in the heart of the spectacular University of British Columbia campus, Alma Mater Society of UBC Catering provides a multitude of menu ideas to meet every occasion. We cater small meetings and large conferences, casual lunches and salmon barbeques, and special events such as wedding receptions. AMS Catering is committed to making your event a success. We offer you knowledgeable and friendly staff, professional service, and quality ingredients.

No Hidden Costs

To make planning easier, there are no hidden costs. China, silver, glassware, and all table linens are included when your event is catered inside the Student Union Building. Please note that there is an additional charge when your event is catered elsewhere on the campus.

Knowing your event will be attended by trained service staff, you can rest assured you aren't compromising on quality.

Our Commitment to the Environment

AMS Catering practices a strong commitment to sustainability. All of our coffees are certified organic, shade grown and Fair Trade. Our dry goods are from local companies wherever possible and produce is purchased locally when in season. There are options on our menu to include wild salmon and organic meats and produce in your meal selections. Our plastic and metal containers and any paper materials used in menu planning are recycled and all of the food waste from our menu preparation is composted, as is a large percentage of our post-consumer food waste. We use non-disposable dishes, glassware and cutlery whenever feasible and our cleaning supplies are environmentally friendly. We welcome your suggestions or ideas on how to better serve you and the environment in a more sustainable fashion.

Farm Fresh Food

In keeping with our commitment to sustainability, we try to purchase local seasonal produce. We work with an organic food broker to ensure that we are paying, and the farmers are receiving, the best price possible for fruits and vegetables. On a smaller scale, we also support UBC's own organic farm and are happy to provide menu choices based on seasonal availability and volume.
