When you’re organising an event — whether it’s a wedding, corporate do or private party — there’s plenty to think about. The venue, timings, seating plan, budget… it can all feel like a bit of a juggling act. But if no one remembers to ask about dietary requirements early on,
When people talk about sustainable catering, it often starts and ends with compostable cups and wooden cutlery.
