Corporate event catering in Poitiers
A university and hospital city, Poitiers splits its corporate events between the town itself, where a conference centre sits at the heart of the railway station, and the Futuroscope technology park, home to seminars, training sessions and evening shows.

Where we deliver in Poitiers
- Parc des Expositions de Grand Poitiers
- On Rue Salvador Allende, close to the A10 Poitiers Nord junction, with an adjoining car park: the venue works with its own catering partners, so have the organiser approve us and confirm the hall.
- Centre de conférences de Grand Poitiers
- On Boulevard du Grand Cerf, at the heart of the railway station, with adjoining car parks: the centre runs its own catering service, so have the venue team approve us and ask them for the room name and the delivery slot.
- Arena Futuroscope
- On Avenue du Futuroscope in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, near the Futuroscope station and reached from the A10: the hospitality lounges serve their own food on show nights, so have any outside reception approved by the venue.
We also deliver to offices and unusual venues across the city, in particular Technopole du Futuroscope, Quartier de la gare, Campus de l'Université de Poitiers, ZAE de Chaumont.
The local constraint that changes the plan
The historic centre sits on a plateau between the Clain and Boivre rivers and is largely pedestrian: vehicle access to the pedestrian area is controlled by automatic number-plate recognition and restricted to authorised users. For a reception on the plateau, give us the service entrance and check with your building how the delivery vehicle can get in.
Who orders in Poitiers
University and research, healthcare, public administration and distance learning, customer relations and tourism: orders come from the campuses, the university hospital, public bodies and the customer service centres of the Futuroscope technology park.
The big dates in Poitiers
- Poitiers Film Festival · every year, from late November into early December
- A festival of film school work and new international talent, run by the TAP: partners host guests and industry professionals around the screenings, and the theatre sets its own rules for outside caterers.
- Gamers Assembly · every spring, over the Easter weekend
- A large video gaming and esports gathering at the Parc des Expositions: teams, partners and organisers stay on site for several days, so team meals and receptions are planned with the organiser, who sets the venue's catering rules.
How a delivery outside Île-de-France works
Everything is composed in Île-de-France and carried in a refrigerated vehicle, with an unbroken cold chain from loading to hand-over. The logistics line covers the real round trip, 680 km, and appears as its own line on the quote.
For a large event, allow 72 hours between the order and the delivery; for a smaller order, 5 days. Payment is received before the service, as everywhere else: nothing is produced before the funds are in.
