Farming The Future Cropped

Sustainability

Our venues recognise the risks posed to the planet from climate change and the consequences of this change being felt by people all around the world. That is why they operate Meetings For Change & Better Banquets, where we offer the following commitments:

  • We believe in using fresh, seasonal products

    We prioritise British and seasonal produce. We have banned air freight.

  • We believe in the power of plants

    Our menus are always plant-forward, with a choice of great-tasting alternative proteins. 60% of menus now need to be vegan, vegetarian, or plant-forward. A plant-forward recipe is one which prioritises plant ingredients e.g. vegetables, fruits, legumes, and grains but doesn’t necessarily eliminate all animal-based foods.

  • We believe in zero waste 

    Whatever we’re cooking for your meeting or event our approach is root-to-stem, nose-to-tail. All our packaging is recycled or reusable.

  • We believe in ethical sourcing 

    All meat is sourced from the UK&I. All our fish is MCS 1-3. Our teas and coffees come from responsible suppliers. Our chocolate is Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified.

  • We believe in protecting our planet
