Catering

Local and seasonal sourcing goes hand in hand with reducing food miles and our collective carbon footprint. We are committed to buying products of the highest quality and as a fresh food company over 80% of the produce we source is brought in fresh. We focus on seasonality and sustainability and where possible buy food that has been produced in the UK.

Recognising food waste is a huge contributor to climate change. Moving Venue have made a pledge to reduce their food waste by 50% by 2025, we will achieve this by taking a considered approach to deliver meaningful step changes over time
