As leaders in luxury catering, we are dedicated to integrating sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations. Through our comprehensive environmental and sustainability policies, we aim to lead by example and contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future. Here’s how we are making a difference:
Sourcing Responsibly
Our approach to luxury catering and corporate catering emphasizes environmental responsibility:
Sustainably Produced Ingredients: We prioritize the use of top-quality, seasonal vegetables, heritage meats, and sustainable seafood in all our menus, ensuring that our wedding catering and other event offerings reflect our commitment to sustainability.
Plant-Based Options: In response to growing demand, we offer 100% meat-free menus that are both luxurious and sustainable.
Local British Suppliers: We work closely with local and seasonal suppliers, who are an extension of our team, sharing our commitment to excellence and sustainability.
Water Conservation
In our pursuit of sustainable catering, we implement water-saving practices in our kitchens:
New Equipment: We continuously upgrade dishwashers and washing machines to the most water-efficient models.
Staff Education: Our team is trained to adopt water-saving habits in their daily routines.
Reusable Bottles: We filter our own ‘Bubble’ water, using reusable glass bottles, and donate £1 per bottle to Just a Drop, reinforcing our commitment to reducing single-use plastics.
Repurposing Products and Supplies
Creativity in repurposing ingredients and supplies is a cornerstone of our sustainable catering approach:
Menu Development: Our Executive Head Chef collaborates with clients to create menus that utilize repurposed ingredients, aligning with our commitment to minimizing waste in corporate catering and wedding catering.
Potted Plants for Station Dressing: We use potted plants repeatedly at events, and they are often gifted to guests or staff to further extend their life.
Composting: We create our own compost from old flowers and vegetable peelings, contributing to a closed-loop system.
Investment in People
Our commitment to luxury catering extends to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce:
Equality and Inclusion Policies: We implement modern policies and conduct impact assessments to ensure inclusivity.
Employee Development: We focus on ongoing training, team-building activities, and maintaining a supportive environment that fosters growth and innovation.

Partnerships: We collaborate with organizations like Beyond Food and The Brigade to provide opportunities for individuals in need, further integrating our business with the community.
Local Support: We work with local farmers, artisans, and businesses to strengthen the local economy and promote sustainable practices in corporate catering and wedding catering.

Reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is a priority in our sustainable catering efforts:
Energy-Efficient Appliances: We have upgraded our kitchens with modern, energy-efficient technology to minimize our carbon footprint.
Renewable Energy: We partner with Smartest Energy to source renewable energy, furthering our commitment to sustainability.
Electric Transportation: For small events, we offer 100% electric transport and are in the process of upgrading our fleet to Euro VI standards.
Education and Awareness

Client Communication: We work closely with clients to reduce waste through careful planning and by offering sustainable menu alternatives.
