- Full takeaway offer at breakfast and dinner
- Pre-order forms at breakfast to reduce your contact time. However, we still provide a service that is efficient and focussed on providing great food
- Self-contained lunches – Bento boxes and sandwich & soup offer
- DDR breakout points have been reviewed to reduce touchpoints and we have introduced the delegate box, which offers healthy snacks as well as treats for each delegate within the hotels
