Sustainability

Cooking with the year, not against it.

Sustainable event catering starts with ingredients chosen carefully, waste cut at every stage and menus that follow the seasons. The wheel below is how the kitchen actually plans, all year round. It applies to every wedding, corporate event and private celebration we cater.

The British year, as the kitchen plans it. The red mark is the month we are in.

N°02Sourcing

Grown nearby, picked riper.

We buy from suppliers close to our kitchen near Leighton Buzzard, which keeps food miles down and quality up. Shorter supply chains mean fresher produce and a smaller footprint for your event. Sourcing well is where a good menu starts, whether it is wedding catering or a board lunch.

Seasonal menus follow from that. Ingredients grown closer and picked riper simply taste better, so a spring menu and an autumn menu should not look the same. Explore our menus to see how the food changes through the year, or read about the kitchen.

Planned to your final numbers, so we cook close to what is eaten.

N°04The practical side

The unglamorous bits, done anyway.

Portions
Planned to your final guest numbers, so we cook close to what is eaten rather than far beyond it.
Surplus
What happens to any surplus food after service is agreed with you in advance.
Packaging
Recyclable or compostable packaging where we can.
Suppliers
Bought close to the kitchen, so produce arrives fresher and travels less.
The wheel
Menus lean on what the wheel says is ready, because riper and closer tastes better.
N°05In their words

★★★★★ Five stars on Google. Every review.

We had an entirely vegan menu and they absolutely aced it (even our meat eater guests were very impressed!).

… make the menu as accessible as possible to any veg / vegans and they both collaborated exceptionally well.
