Accepted Caterers
It is recommended and preferred that University catering services and food providers be utilized for University events. Whenever an event is planned a food waiver form must be completed. The form can be found here. Instructions for completing the form and AD 26 Frequently asked questions can be found here.

The following listed non-University providers of food, beverages and catering services have met the University's requirements for Accepted Caterers. Therefore, they may provide food, beverages, and catering services for University events in which University Policy AD26 (University Policy Manual) permits. All requirements of AD26 must be met. THESE ARE CURRENTLY THE ONLY NON-PSU PROVIDERS OF FOOD, BEVERAGES AND CATERING SERVICES THAT MEET UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS, no other providers of food, beverages and catering services other than those that appear in this list may be used.
Food Truck Events have additional requirements in addition to the supplier being listed on the AD26 Accepted Caterer list. If you are planning a Food Truck Event, please contact Housing and Food Service Purchasing directly at [email protected] to discuss the additional requirements. Additional forms and Supplier requirements are necessary.
In order to facilitate your browsing through the list, each Accepted Caterer has been shown in an individual heading categorized alphabetically. We believe the information given is self-descriptive with the exception of the Liquor Liability. A "No" shown under the Liquor Liability heading means the Accepted Caterer may not serve and/or provide alcohol. Conversely, a "Yes" means they are allowed to serve and/or provide alcohol at University events. Additional requirements as per University Policy AD 18 may be required.
CAUTION: Before contacting an Accepted Caterer, please review Policy AD26 to determine that your event is one that is not required to be handled by the University's Catering operations. You should obtain all necessary approvals as required in policy AD26 before contacting a caterer or food and beverage provider. Regardless of this requirement, use of University Catering Services “Catering at Penn State”, is preferred and encouraged.
Any questions regarding an Accepted Caterer or policy AD26 should be directed to the Housing and Food Service Purchasing Office, (814) 865-6386 or via email to [email protected].
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have a new provider of food, beverages or catering services who wishes to become an Accepted Caterer please see the subject entitled " Requirements for Caterers." New caterers and food providers must submit their own information to HFS Purchasing directly. University departments should not submit information on the vendor’s behalf.
NOTE: Providers of food, beverage and catering services do NOT need to appear on this list when the University is holding an event off-campus at a facility that either: 1) has its own food service provider or 2) requires users of the facility to only use caterers off a facility authorized list. However, you are encouraged to use University catering services "Catering at Penn State or an accepted caterer if these requirements do not apply.
