Catering

Local Sourcing
We are proud to support local farms and businesses, sourcing $75,000 of Kentucky farm and business impact products in 2024. Custom menus featuring local products can be prepared for your event upon request. 

Reducing Waste
Through the implementation of kitchen composting and food donations, we are able to minimize our food waste from catered events.
We offer reusable dishware and cutlery, as well as recyclable or compostable disposables, for catered events, reducing plastic waste.

Emission Reduction
By offering a range of low emission menu options, featuring plant forward, seasonal, and local ingredients, we are able to reduce emissions while supporting local farms.

Green Restaurant Certification
The Green Restaurant Association is an independent, international non-profit recognizing restaurants' efforts to make their daily operations more environmentally sustainable using transparent, science-based certification standards. 
UK Catering is recognized as a 2 Star Certified Green Restaurant Caterer®

Green Catered Events
A Green Catered Event Certification is an option for event organizers using UK Catering for their event. The Green Catered Event Certification encourages and recognizes the voluntary sustainable efforts event organizers take to reduce the waste and carbon emissions of their event. Through a set of criteria focused on sustainable menu options, reduced disposable options, and composting, event organizers can be awarded with the Green Catered Event certification, and will be provided promotional materials that they can use at their event, a great opportunity to further engage and educate event attendees on the sustainable efforts of the event.

Sustainable event options like seasonal, plant forward, and local menu options, china and reusable cutlery, and composting can be found on our ordering page.
