Sustainability: As part of our sustainability and environment initiatives, we use compostable cutlery, plates, and napkins. Our Chefs strive to purchase food locally through our vendors when it is available and have created menus to reflect our local food offerings. We serve locally roasted, IMPACT fairtrade organic coffee and tea. We have removed all plastic straws from our service.
Menu: Supporting the local economy is important to Catering & Event Services and we strive to purchase products locally when it is available. Due to unforeseen circumstances, menus may need to be modified. Catering & Event Services will, in all instances, substitute a comparable or greater quality product that is consistent with the menu.
