The Hungry Plaice - Carbon Neutral Mobile Caterer

As a Mobile Catering Business it is important for us to ensure we can reduce our Waste as much as possible and for us to do what we can to reduce our Carbon Footprint to help Future Generations. We are always reviewing our processes and products used for ways in which we can be more green.

We know that Event Organisers are more aware of what impact their events will have on the wider environment whether they are holding a Small Wedding or a Large Scale Public Event with 1000s attending you will want to make sure that you are taking steps to reduce your waste and increase your recycling.

At The Hungry Plaice we have worked to minimise our Food Waste, by changing our Business Model to only attend prepaid events this helps us plan events better by identifying the exact numbers we will be catering we can work out how much food is required by event and keep our food portions waste to a minimum, we also have a limited menu which aids this as well. This in turn helps us keep our costs down without the need to throw away food unnecessarily.

Another large area we have worked on is packaging waste, whilst we can easily manage waste generated when making stock purchases such as cardboard by using recycling wherever possible we were conscious that most of the waste we generated was being passed to customers whilst serving at events. 

To overcome this problem we looked at every item we use when serving to see if we could change to sustainable items, this was easy for trays where instead of using polystyrene boxes we have found biodegradable trays which are Eco friendly and are even compostable.  A further easy swap was changing our cutlery from plastic to wooden another quick easy win to make our business more sustainable for our customers!

We have now pledged to become Carbon Neutral at our Business and have offset our Carbon Usage through Carbon Footprint Ltd and we have also joined the Oblong UK Ltd 10 Year Tree Plan.

We Recycle Our Cooking Oil

We use lots of Vegetable Oil for Frying our food and this used Cooking Oil is Regulated Waste, we have a contract in place with a Supplier who collects this and turns this into Bio Fuel

We Keep Food Waste To A Minimum

As we work primarily at Prepaid Events with set numbers we are able buy our stock using the "Just in Time" Method and we cater accordingly avoiding overcooking and this minimises the amount of food we need to throw away

We Use MSC Accredited Sustainable Cod

The Cod we purchase is Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) accredited and this means that our suppliers source from fisheries that have been assessed by the Council and are fishing to the Council Standards 

Our Supplier Packaging Is Recycled 

We recycle Packaging at one of our Supplier outlets this includes large amounts of Cardboard used in items we purchase

We Serve Food In Recyclable Items

We have chosen items that are used regularly by our guests to ensure they are friendly to the environment, this includes Biodegradable Trays, Wooden Cutlery and Paper Napkins

We Do Not Provide Waste Bins At Events

We purposely do not provide bins at events we attend in order to encourage our Customers to recycle items used by their guests

We Use Reusable Utensils

Our utensils and PPE are reused wherever possible

Being More Green 

We are currently looking at the possibility of using Solar Panels to power the Electric sockets on our Vans and hope that one day in the future our Vans can be electrically powered!!
