The Garden Catering is committed to reducing the impact of our business on the environment. Every order is cooked in our own kitchen at Unit 6 Chessington Trade Park and delivered by our own team, so we can control how our food is made, powered and delivered.
Electric Deliveries
All of our deliveries across London and Surrey are made by our two electric vans. We bought our first electric van in November 2015 and our second in October 2023.
Solar Power
In July 2024 we installed an MCS-certified solar system with battery storage at our Unit 6 kitchen, and we have since extended it with more panels. It is approved by UK Power Networks to export any surplus electricity to the grid.
Our electric vans are charged from our solar system and batteries. Our electricity supplier is Octopus Energy.
Waste and Recycling
Food waste and recycling (plastics and cardboard) are collected separately by Grundon Waste Management.
Our Principles
We aim to meet or exceed all environmental laws, regulations and codes of practice that apply to our business.
We consider the environment when we make business decisions, including the equipment we buy and the energy we use.
We make sure our staff understand this policy and help put it into practice.
We encourage our suppliers and clients to work sustainably too.
We review this policy every year.
