If external clients are unable or unwilling to pay fees assessed, the sponsoring TAMU organization/department/affiliate will be responsible for the charges.
What options are available for serving food at my event?
You are welcome to use a local caterer in Brazos County that has a valid health permit to cater your event. Coordination with the caterer and Aggie Park staff will be required to ensure all necessary equipment is available for your caterer to make your event successful.
Food trucks are also available to provide food and drinks during your event. Chartwells, the on-campus dining vendor, can provide a current list of all approved food truck vendors on campus. Approval of chosen food truck will be required by Chartwells and Aggie Park staff.
All food and drink served during your event must be approved by Aggie Park staff prior to your event day.
