A considered food ethos
Levy UK + Ireland is a team of event and culinary experts bringing legendary experiences, fantastic flavours and innovative technology to some of the UK’s most iconic venues, including Turf Moor.
A recipe for change
Food significantly impacts global emissions, with the current worldwide food system contributing to 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. That's why Levy UK + Ireland is at the forefront of sustainable food practices, championing locally sourced, plant-forward, and seasonal menus, which they aptly call their 'recipe for change’.
Catering for change
Nutritious catering is an essential component of any successful event, and we're here to make it both delicious and environmentally conscious. From refreshing salad platters to yummy hot buffets, our team will craft healthy dishes tailored to meet the dietary requirements of every guest while keeping our planet in mind.
To promote transparency and sustainability, we communicate the carbon footprint of each dish on our menus. Dishes are categorised as 'Low,' 'Medium,' and 'High,' empowering your guests to make choices that have the lowest impact on the environment.
Meetings & Banquets for Change
At Turf Moor Stadium, our food and drink offering is guided by Meetings for Change and Better Banquets helping event organisers make more sustainable choices without compromising on quality.
Together with our catering partner, Levy, we prioritise seasonal British produce, eliminate air-freighted ingredients, champion plant-forward menus, and take a zero-waste approach wherever possible. We source responsibly from trusted UK and certified suppliers and use climate data to display the carbon footprint of dishes, helping guests make informed choices that support a lower-impact future.
We Source in Season
We prioritise British and seasonal produce. We have banned air freight.
We Avoid Surplus
We believe in zero waste. Whatever we're cooking for your meeting or event our approach is root-to-stem, nose-to-tail. All our packaging is recycled and reusable.
We Stir the Pot
All meat is sourced from the UK & I. All our fish is MSC 1-3. Our teas and coffees come from responsible suppliers. Our chocolate is Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified.
We Swap at Scale
Our menus are always plant-forward, with a choice of great-tasting alternative proteins. 60% of our menus are vegan, vegetarian or plant-forward. All our desserts are plant based.
A plant-forward recipe prioritises plant ingredients (e.g. fruit, vegetables, legumes and grains) but doesn't necessarily eliminate all animal-based foods. At least 50% of what would typically be an animal ingredient, will instead be a plant ingredient.
For example, the 120g of chicken in a typical chicken pie, is instead 60g chicken, 60g mushrooms.
Low and No Alcohol Options
We always offer Low and No sustainable alcohol options.
Carbon Labelled Menus
Our menus display carbon footprint information to highlight how our eating habits impact the climate and to help everyone make informed food choices.
Partnering with Foodsteps, we use their leading database to scientifically measure the carbon footprint of each dish, considering ingredients, origin, and production methods. Their A-E rating system identifies low to high carbon dishes, with 'A' being the most planet-friendly.
Carbon Ratings:
A = Very Low Carbon
B = Low Carbon
C = Medium Carbon
D = High Carbon
E = Very High Carbon
Transparent food labelling
Our menus are colour-coded like a traffic light to show you the carbon score of your meals. Dishes with a label value of 'A' indicates a very low carbon rating, whilst 'E' indicates dishes with a very high carbon rating.
This means the dish has been calculated by FoodSteps to help you make a better decision for you, and the planet.
