On-Campus Catering
	Does Great Hall Catering have keys to the room around campus?
	No, unfortunately Great Hall Catering does not have master keys to any
	of the buildings on campus. It is the responsibility of the client to have the room unlocked 15 minutes prior to the delivery time which ensures that the order be set-up on time for your event. Further, on weekends, it is also the responsibility of the client to arrange that the buildings themselves are unlocked.

	especially for larger orders but this must be arranged prior to the event. And no, we cannot leave our carts to be used as tables for set-up.
	Am I responsible for the catering equipment?
	Yes, as stated in your Requirement Report, "All equipment used is the
	responsibility of the client; any missing equipment will result in additional charges". If the equipment is moved to another location, please contact our main office at 519 661-3048 or great.hall.catering@uwo.ca and we will gladly come and pick up.
