GALLAGHER CATERS TO YOU

Gallagher Convention Centre offers delicious menus tailored to the theme and requirements of every event. The catering at Gallagher is Halaal, certified by NIHT. This means that most of the worry is taken out of the planning, for organisers, where special dietaries are concerned. Gallagher does not charge a surcharge on Halaal or vegetarian meals. Having noticed the need for a supplier of high-quality Halaal meals in the industry, Gallagher established GC3H. GC3H delivers special dietary meals and event catering throughout Gauteng.
