  • Composting all our food waste
  • Sourcing produce from local providers in or near the Yarra Valley
  • Only using 100% Australian fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood and cheeses
  • Using free range eggs
  • Using fair trade coffee
  • Minimising the use of single-use or plastic cutlery by providing our own cutlery at events
  • Recycling glass, cardboard, paper and cooking oil
