Food Waste & Local Sourcing

Green Dining

Welcome to the Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence, where luxury meets sustainability. Our commitment to the environment goes beyond providing a lavish experience. We believe in making a positive impact on the world by reducing food waste and supporting local Irish farmers. In this article, we will explore how you can join us in our efforts to embrace sustainability while enjoying a memorable stay.

Farm-to-Table Philosophy:

At Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence, we are proud to have embraced the farm-to-table philosophy, which emphasizes sourcing fresh, seasonal produce directly from local Irish farmers. By purchasing locally, we reduce our carbon footprint by minimizing transportation and supporting the local economy. Our talented chefs take delight in crafting exquisite dishes that not only tantalize your taste buds but also celebrate the authentic flavours of Ireland.

Mindful Menu Planning:

One of the keys to reducing food waste is mindful menu planning. Our culinary team designs menus that carefully consider seasonal availability, so ingredients are always at their peak freshness. By avoiding excess inventory, we minimize the amount of food that goes to waste, helping to create a more sustainable food system. Furthermore, any unavoidable food waste is responsibly composted, diverting it from landfills and contributing to a healthier environment.

Takeaway Options and Sustainable Materials:

While we take great pride in offering a variety of delectable dishes, we also encourage mindful dining. Offering takeaway options for unfinished meals is an essential aspect of our commitment to reducing food waste. By providing takeaway containers, we not only ensure that our guests enjoy a satisfying meal but also avoid unnecessary leftovers that could end up being discarded.

Engaging Guests in the Sustainability Journey:

At Herbert Park Hotel & Park Residence, we believe that sustainability is a shared responsibility. We actively engage our guests in our sustainability journey and encourage them to be part of the positive change. Through digitising what we can and participating in educational efforts with our team internally, we are constantly growing in our understanding of the importance of reducing food waste and supporting local farmers, and we hope to impart this to our guest family. Together, we can make a significant impact on the environment and foster a greater appreciation for the food we consume.
