The Venues Collection (TVC) is the first UK venue chain to remove dairy ingredients from all dessert menus across all its five venues.
The alternatives offer a delicious selection of classics including sticky toffee pudding, cherry trifle, Biscoff mousse with raspberry compote, seasonal berry cheesecake, and salted caramel panna cotta with flapjack crumble.
TVC’s sustainable credentials also include attaining the ‘silver’ level in the Green Tourism ‘Green Meetings’ Standard, the world’s largest sustainable certification program, achieving Venue Directory’s Green Accreditation and the installation of solar- powered EV charging points to be rolled at all venues. Furthermore, compost made at Eastwood Hall’s static aerated compost system transforms the venue’s raw organic materials into biologically stable, compost suitable for growing plants. Plans are also progressing to roll out this initiatives across the other venues.
Joanne Barratt, Managing Director of The Venues Collection, said: “Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and supporting sustainability across our industry. By introducing a number of industry first initiatives and eco-friendly alternatives, we empower event organisers and venue bookers to make environmentally conscious choices.”
