Catering
As for everything we offer and do at Century City Conference Centre, polished, superior service and the utmost attention to detail are what sets us apart: and our food is no exception.
These high standards are reflected in our boutique 5-star catering service provided for every event that we host. Our approach to catering is based on the hospitality industry: you won’t find any mass-produced event catering here.
From diabetic to halaal, Banting to vegan: we can cater for any dietary requirements that you may have. We operate a dedicated halaal-certified kitchen; and if Kosher catering is preferred, we are also able to make arrangements for this. Please speak to a Meetings & Events Co-ordinator to discuss your specific catering requirements.
