From local suppliers and plant-forward menus to eco-friendly service ware and electric kitchens, Funky Fridays is committed to delivering responsible catering for modern festivals and live events.
Wherever possible we prioritise local and regional suppliers, helping reduce food miles while supporting the local economy.

When disposables are required we use:
Waste separation systems including food waste ensures materials are recycled or composted wherever possible.
Our catering infrastructure is designed to minimise environmental impact.
Where site power allows we operate primarily electric kitchens, reducing reliance on gas and improving energy efficiency.
Electric cooking equipment helps reduce emissions while maintaining high-performance professional kitchens capable of feeding large event crews.
We carefully monitor meal uptake and work closely on meal numbers needed during events and adjust production accordingly.
Our approach includes:
Festivals and major events increasingly place sustainability at the heart of their operations.
We work closely with organisers to align with site-wide sustainability plans, supporting local sourcing, waste reduction and responsible catering practices.
Our goal is simple:
serve great food, support local communities and minimise environmental impact wherever we operate.
