We have catered for an array of events, from small birthday parties to gala events. Continental breakfasts, luncheons, receptions, barbecues, and formal dinners are only a few of our specialties. Catering Services is happy to accommodate any special needs. Allow us to make your event memorable for you and your guests.


Option 1: Meal Cards -- With meal cards, the event planner can determine a spending amount per person on a day-by-day basis or for the length of the conference. Card can be used at any dining facility at any time during the conference.

Option 2: Meal Passes -- With meal passes, the event planner determines the amount per meal. Paper passes are then collected at the register of any dining facility, and the group is billed only for the amount used.

Option 3: Cash -- Cash is always welcome at any of our dining facilities.

Option 4: Catering -- Hofstra Dining Services offers full service catering. Call the Catering Office to discuss the many available options. Click here to view the Hofstra Dining Services Catering Guide.
