On-campus provision and catering has become a very important part of campus life for both staff and students. The aim of this study was to investigate the views of staff to on-campus catering in a large third level educational institution. There was a response rate of 68% from all categories of staff. A comprehensive investigation of existing trends in the food and beverage sector in general and on-campus is provided in this study analyses in a literature review. The results of the survey concur with the secondary research of on-campus catering in the UK. The findings of this research have implications for a number of stakeholders; however, the greatest impact will be on the providers of catering provision on-campus in order to meet the needs of respondents. The results show that there is a need to provide good quality catering at a value price on-campus.
