The Deep Teams Up with Yorkshire’s Award-Winning Caterer, Shoot the Bull

If you've ever attended a corporate event with bland sandwiches and lukewarm coffee, you’ll know that catering can make or break the experience. Well, The Deep is making sure that’s never a problem again. The iconic Hull aquarium has just announced an exciting new partnership with Shoot the Bull, an award-winning Yorkshire-based catering company. This means future corporate events at The Deep are about to get a serious flavour upgrade!

A Perfect Match: Great Food Meets an Iconic Venue

The Deep isn’t just about fascinating marine life—it’s also a top-tier events venue, offering a striking setting for everything from conferences to gala dinners. Now, with Shoot the Bull on board, guests attending corporate events will be treated to restaurant-quality food in one of Hull’s most unique locations.

With over 25 years of experience, Shoot the Bull has built a reputation for serving up bold, modern flavours while keeping things grounded in traditional favourites. Their catering style is all about combining exciting, high-quality ingredients with innovative presentation. Whether you’re after an elegant three-course meal or a more relaxed street food selection, their menus cater to all tastes—including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

Sustainable Dining, the Deep Way

Sustainability is a core value at The Deep, and this partnership aligns perfectly with that mission. Events featuring Shoot the Bull’s street food menus will use 100% compostable crockery and cutlery, meaning guests can enjoy their meal knowing it won’t harm the environment. Even the table decorations are fully sustainable!

With both organisations committed to eco-friendly practices, this collaboration isn’t just about delicious food—it’s about doing things the right way.
