Sustainability
Sustainability is a core message that we want to portray at Jacaranda Catering and have put measures in place to accomplish this and will be implementing more this year.
Local Suppliers We use local suppliers and have created menus around the seasons so we can use fruit and vegetables that are available locally, minimising the food miles. For instance, all our asparagus comes from Rogate and we do not use it out of season, all our berries come from Chichester. We are always looking for the best possible product as close as possible.
Ethical produce and Vegetables We only use free range British chickens and all our beef and lamb is from free range or organic grazing animals, none of it is intensively farmed. This year we are concentrating on vegetables and all our dishes have both a vegan and vegetarian alternative, the meat is no longer the star of the show, it’s all about the veg!
Portion Control All food for events is managed with a strict portion control policy so there is very little left over especially with plated meals. We also encourage our clients to take home any leftovers that are not high risk such as salads etc.
Wastage In our production kitchens we have a food waste bin which is emptied once a week and used to produce biogas. We are also insisting that our suppliers reduce their packaging and single use plastic and this year we will be supplying some heavy-duty reusable boxes for meat and fish that they can send our produce in.
These are just a few ways the company has put procedures in place to help the sustainability in our industry, the environment and our local community but we are always looking to improve all parts of the catering process.
FAQ's
We cater for all dietary requirements where needed. If you are looking for a bespoke menu be it fully vegan, vegetarian or gluten free, we are more than happy to work with you to create this.
Without a doubt! We will always provide you with an on the day event manager. They are there to not only make sure that all the timings are stuck too, the food is delivered on time and how it is supposed to be, they will also look after all of your suppliers and make sure everyone knows what it supposed to be happening when. All in all, leave it to your event manager and relax!
