University of Oxford awards 5-year catering contract to BaxterStorey
Abstract
Hospitality business BaxterStorey has been awarded a five-year catering contract for the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities at the University of Oxford.

The partnership will see BaxterStorey provide a range of hospitality and dining services for the centre, which brings together seven humanities faculties and research institutes under one roof.

The menus will highlight fresh and seasonal produce sourced from local suppliers, reflecting BaxterStorey’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement.

BaxterStorey will operate:

  • A café offering breakfast, lunch, a salad bar, and a grab-and-go deli
  • A coffee shop serving an extensive barista-crafted drinks range and a selection of savoury and sweet treats
  • A variety of hospitality and fine dining experiences, including conference catering, pre-performance dinners, afternoon teas, drinks receptions, and festival events

As part of its local partnerships, the team will also participate in the Adopt a School programme, working with St Frideswide C of E Primary School to inspire young people about careers in hospitality and healthy eating.

Louise Denton, managing director South-West BaxterStorey, said: “The Schwarzman Centre represents a new chapter for the humanities and for Oxford’s cultural life, and we’re thrilled to play a part in creating inclusive, sustainable, and inspiring food experiences for students, staff, and visitors alike.”
