UBS - Annual Meeting on 4 May 2017.
Before the meeting there was a standard offering Coffee, Tea, water, Juice etc together with various types of croissant.

After the meeting in the extremely spacious and attractive reception area, there were a scattering of food islands with a selection of food, wines, beer on tap and other refreshments. As good as the drinks offer was, the food unfortunately missed the mark.
        
The food selection was:
Lasagne - bland, tasteless and textureless.
Potato cubes - strange and watery, it may not even have been potato?
Risotto - Very good
Sandwiches - if you bought this at a store, the store would not see your sandwich business again.
With a little more effort on the food side, and perhaps using a closer caterer, the quality could be improved.
