Before the event

✍ Plan your recipes

Plan your menu in advance and make a shopping list to avoid overbuying and reduce food waste.

📧 Send invites

Ask for RSVPs and consider portion sizes to help reduce food being uneaten and wasted on the day. Have a look at our downloadable Greener Coronation invitations to send out to your guests.

🥘 Bring a dish

A popular way of catering for a party is to ask everyone to bring a dish. That way they are bringing something they would like to eat, but also they can take home any of their leftovers from the day.

🍎 Go local and seasonal

Choose locally sourced, seasonal and organic ingredients where possible to support local farmers, reduce carbon emissions from transportation and avoid wildlife harming chemicals.

🥬 Try plant based

Serve plant-based options or reduce the amount of meat and dairy in your dishes. This can significantly reduce the carbon emissions of your food and reduce the environmental impact of your party.

🍱 BYOC - Bring your own container

Ask your guests to bring along a container or two for leftovers so that nothing is wasted at your party.

🥖 Plan for food waste

Think about how you can plan to capture and compost food scraps on the day and encourage guests to do the same if possible. Have a look at our downloadable recycling signs to get your food waste station organised at your event.
