Approved Caterers Departments must use contracted caterers that meet University business and insurance requirements. This policy is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of University employees and guests and to reduce risk to the University. When planning an on-campus event or function, please choose from the UCSC Approved Caterers' list below.
Events with Alcohol Only Approved Caterers with Liquor Legal Liability Insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 are permitted to provide bar service and serve alcohol at events on campus. If alcohol (including beer and wine) is being served by a vendor, supplier, contractor, then Liquor Legal Liability is required. For example, a caterer or bartender providing bar service at an event will be required to submit, and have on file in the PSCS office a certificate of insurance which includes evidence of Liquor Legal Liability. Policies through Risk Services and CampusConnexions are available for caterers that need to obtain Liquor Legal Liability coverage. Caterer's that are approved to serve alcohol are noted with a green check mark. Caterer's who are
not approved to serve alcohol are noted with a red X mark.
All caterers listed below have a current status of approved. Questions can be directed to
