Welcome to the University of Gloucestershire. Baxter Storey are committed to consistently delivering the highest standard of hospitality catering. Our food offer is intrinsically linked to the service standards which we set, and we will deliver a prompt and discreet service to you.

We are delighted to present our Residential Menu which gives an indication of the services available. Our menus change regularly and are influenced by the seasonality of ingredients to ensure best quality and value.

The University of Gloucestershire has an institutional commitment to sustainability and is a formally recognised sector leader. Our Sustainable Food Policy seeks to reduce food miles, promote fresh and locally sourced food as well as healthy, organic, free range and Fairtrade products.   Baxter Storey has a reputation for delivering fresh, quality and sustainably sourced food. Sustainability principles are ingrained in both our working practices and menu selections. We believe that by placing sustainable behaviour at the heart of our business it forces the organisation to think differently, be more creative and innovative in how it delivers its services.
