Weddings, private and corporate events catering for the future.
At Queen & Whippet, we believe that great food shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. Whether it’s for weddings, private events or corporate events catering, sustainability is woven into everything we do, from the ingredients we source to the way we operate behind the scenes. As a boutique catering company, we have the flexibility to make conscious, eco-friendly choices at every stage, ensuring your event is as low-impact as it is luxurious.
The events industry has long been associated with wastefulness, from excessive food waste to single-use plastics and high energy consumption. But we’re determined to change that. Our clients care about sustainability, and we’re here to help them make environmentally responsible choices without compromising on taste, style, or experience.
We take pride in working with exceptional West Country producers, ensuring that our ingredients travel as little as possible. Our menus are designed around seasonality, reducing the need for imported goods while delivering peak freshness and flavour.
We carefully select our suppliers based on their sustainability credentials. From Arthur David’s reduced plastic initiatives to Origin Butchers’ commitment to high-welfare meat, we ensure that every ingredient meets our ethical standards. We also prioritise sustainable seafood choices from UK waters.
Our chefs meticulously plan portions to minimise food waste, and any unavoidable waste is recycled or composted. We avoid single-use plastics, instead opting for compostable alternatives or reusable serviceware whenever possible.
We are working towards transitioning to electric vehicles and are mindful of our energy consumption, integrating induction cooking and choosing suppliers that prioritise renewable energy sources.
We offer an array of vibrant, innovative plant-based dishes, not just as an afterthought but as a core part of our menus. Reducing meat consumption is one of the most impactful ways to lower the carbon footprint of an event, and we’re thrilled by the positive feedback from our fully vegan weddings and events.
Sustainability doesn’t mean compromise. For us, whether it’s for a wedding or private and corporate events catering we strive to help our clients make informed choices that benefit the environment while elevating the event. If you have specific sustainability goals, we’ll integrate them seamlessly into your catering plan.
Let’s work together to create a beautiful, sustainable event that your guests will remember for all the right reasons. Get in touch today to discuss how we can bring our unique approach to your celebration.
