SUSTAINABLE EVENT CATERING
CARBON NEUTRAL
Taste Creatives strives for sustainable event catering.
Our ‘ Carbon Emissions for a typical year are estimated at 15.4 tonnes CO2 e.
Typical Fine Dining Dinner Party for 10 guests is 131kg
Summer BBQ Party for 50 guests is 655kg
Etsy Cream Teas are approx 35kg per week
Whilst we work to reduce our impact and strive for Net Zero we have chosen to offset our emissions.
Through Carbon Neutral Britain we plant 30 trees every month and offset 60 tonnes of CO2 e each year. Over 4 times our actual impact.
Please talk to us about local produce and lower carbon footprint menus and options to offset your event with us.
Together we will help save our planet.
