When you are planning a conference, a strategy meeting, or a training day, there are a lot of moving parts to consider. You need the perfect central location, seamless AV tech, and versatile room layouts. But ask any event delegate what leaves the biggest lasting impression, and they will almost always give you the same answer: the food.
At The Priory Rooms in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, we know that great catering is about more than just satisfying hunger—it is about keeping energy levels high, sparking networking conversations, and fueling a successful day.
Guided by our core Quaker values of integrity, stewardship, and community, we provide an exceptional catering service that is as ethically responsible as it is delicious. Here is a closer look at what is on the menu for your next corporate event.
Every event is unique, which is why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you are hosting a small, intimate workshop for 10 or an expansive keynote for up to 210 delegates in our Main Meeting House, our catering is designed to fit your schedule.
From simple Fairtrade tea, coffee, and biscuits for a quick half-day budget meeting, to beautifully presented multi-course meals and working lunches, our flexible menus can be seamlessly integrated into your booking.
To make planning your event as simple as possible, we offer popular Day Delegate Packages (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) that bundle your room hire, AV equipment, and catering into one straightforward per-delegate price. Each package is crafted to keep your team engaged from morning until afternoon:
Bronze Package: Start the morning with pastries on arrival, alongside unlimited servings of Fairtrade coffee, tea, and herbal infusions. Mid-morning biscuits and freshly baked afternoon cookies keep the momentum going, while a lunchtime spread of assorted sandwiches on white and brown bread is served with a crisp salad garnish, crisps, and our delicious cakes of the day.
Silver Package: Includes all the perks of our Bronze package, but upgrades your lunch by allowing you to choose two savoury buffet items to accompany your sandwich platters.
Gold Package: Perfect for a more substantial midday break, the Gold package includes the core refreshments and sandwiches, plus your choice of one hot main dish served with a side.
As a not-for-profit venue that reinvests surplus income directly back into community and charitable initiatives, environmental responsibility is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that what you eat should reflect those commitments.
Locally Sourced: We work closely with local suppliers to source fresh ingredients. This not only supports our regional economy but heavily reduces the food miles and carbon footprint associated with your event.
Fairtrade as Standard: Your delegates will enjoy unlimited Fairtrade coffee, tea, and herbal infusions throughout the day, ensuring ethical trading standards are supported with every cup poured.
Meat Free Mondays: In support of the national Meat Free Monday campaign, we proudly offer a completely vegetarian menu every Monday. It’s a healthy, fresh, and tasty initiative that helps us actively reduce our venue’s carbon footprint. (Of course, if you prefer to stick to our standard catering menu on a Monday, you can easily opt-out when making your booking!)
In the modern workplace, dietary inclusivity is vital. We want every single attendee to feel welcome and well-fed. We cater to all dietary requirements as standard—whether your delegates require vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free choices. Simply let our dedicated conference team know your requirements at the time of booking, and we will handle the rest.
The food is only half the experience; where you eat it matters too! When the lunch bell rings, your delegates can relax in our light and airy Atrium, which overlooks our beautiful gardens. If you are hosting a summer event, you can even elevate your breakout sessions by taking your coffee or lunch out onto our First Floor Terrace or into our peaceful Landscaped Courtyard Garden—a true hidden sanctuary in the middle of bustling Birmingham.
