Creating a welcoming environment, a home away from home, where your college community come together and share a meal, and where students are nourished and fueled to achieve their highest potential, should be at the core of education catering.

Nourishing students and bringing the schooling community together through the celebration of food.

the story

The fondest memories are made gathered around the table. Born from a desire to provide essential nutrition to students, while also connecting the school community through the celebration of food, Cater Care is launching a new offering into the education sector.

It is called gather by Cater Care.

At gather, we create a home away from home for thousands of students from all walks of life. In a home it’s the little things that count, and they’re the things we take care of.

we are fresh, wholesome, nurturing, uncomplicated & modern.

catering with connection.

The staff of gather by Cater Care are chosen for their nurturing and caring qualities; ensuring that students and residents are of priority and that community is at the heart of operations, while still delivering a high-quality service. It’s the people that make the experience, and gather is wholly focused on bringing people together.

As a contract caterer for schools, colleges and universities, we gather in partnership with clients to ensure your students are provided a varying but nourishing cuisine, and an exceptional dining experience.

Furthermore, your administration team will benefit from our national operational management structure, reinforced by individual state support teams and on-site teams. We aim to stand out among other education catering companies.
