Ethical guidelines for catering at BellbunyaSelf-caterers and third party caterers are asked to meet Bellbunya's ethical considerations for food in the kitchen. - Food is to be sourced from ethical, sustainable sources. For example
- Free range eggs, not caged eggs.
- Where meat is served it should be ethically sourced, for example free range chicken, fish from sustainable fisheries.
- Buying local wherever practical
- Buying organically grown foods wherever practical
- Care not to buy from unethical companies, for example Nestle (who cause thousands of babies to die through their unethical conduct with powdered milk in the majority world); Proctor and Gamble, etc
- Care to not purchase products that destroy habitats; such as palm oil
- Low food packaging is preferred to reduce waste and consumption.
- All organic waste can be composted or fed to Bellbunya's chickens or through our worm farms.
- External caterers will need to take non-organic, non-recyclable waste off-site.
- Caterers must have a person with a current food safety supervisor certificate supervising the kitchen operations. Bellbunya staff can perform this function for a fee of $25-50/day (depending on group size).
- The kitchen must be left clean each evening.
- A $200 bond is payable for the kitchen
- The kitchen will be clean when caterers arrive, and left in a clean condition.
- Caterers are welcome to use table-cloths supplied, but will pay for commercial cleaning for items used.
- Breakages are to be paid by the caterer.
