Street Food: Little (Green) Changes Go A Really Long Way
No mean feat, this will be hard and rewarding work. You’ll face long queues and even longer days, but that’s all part of the fun, and well worth it in the end.
You see, whatever part you play in this food revolution, you have power and responsibility. Every time you greet a customer or serve something up, you have the opportunity to educate and inspire others.
The food itself needs to be healthy and enjoyable and to make a real, positive impact; it also needs to be sourced from local, organic and ethical suppliers.
Once you’ve ensured quality for your customers, and made a conscious effort to pick the right ingredients, you need to think on an even wider scale…a global scale…
How can you save the world with your food cart?
Well, no one is expecting the Superman of street food, but you can do your part to make a difference and benefit the planet with your business and vision. And what is the easiest, most practical way for you to do this? Go green with your catering supplies.
Yep. With the right motivation and Little Cherry’s impressive range of eco-friendly catering supplies, you can transform your food truck into a green beacon.
Coffee, ice cream, gastro-inspired eats; whatever kind of food or drink you serve, there will be a way to make that service more planet-friendly. So read on to see our suggestions for various kinds of street food, and see if you’re inspired to see how little green changes can go a really long way…
For Ice Cream Stands…
Ice cream will always be a beloved British food, and it never tastes as good from a tub as it does from a vendor on the street or at the beach. You don’t have to use those flimsy plastic spatulas and tubs. Instead, use stylish and sturdy compostable birch teaspoons and disposable palm leaf tableware; our range includes everything from small bowls to coconut shell dishes.
For Coffee Huts…
Takeaway coffee is one of the most popular to-go options in the UK. Everyone is always in a rush and always in need of a caffeine fix, so it makes sense that hot (and iced) drinks are available in disposable cups. Opt for sustainably sourced disposable cups like these instead of the plastic and foam alternatives, and you’ll be doing wonders for the planet every time you sell a cuppa!
For Finger Food…
Finger food is quick and easy, even if you’re running a hundred and one errands. Cold sandwiches, slices of pizza, Churro sticks, crudités…all easy to grab bites you can enjoy at your leisure or en route to somewhere. When it comes to serving such snacks, you can keep things simple but well-presented with palm leaf plates. As for tidying up the mess, just make sure you stock up on compostable napkins.
Of course, we have plenty more eco-friendly tableware and food packaging where these came from, so feel free to browse our range or get in touch with the team here at littlecherry.co.uk. Whether you create one-pot wonders or niche nosh, we’re always happy to discuss green initiatives and offer guidance where we can.
