Guidelines for Hosting an Eco-Friendly Event at Cubby Cafe

At Cubby Cafe, we are committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. To help you plan an eco-friendly event, we ask that you consider the following guidelines. These will ensure that your function aligns with our values while creating a memorable experience for you and your guests.

Ban on Confetti, Balloons, and Single-Use Plastics

Confetti, Glitter and Balloons: We kindly ask that confetti, glitter, balloons, and similar single-use decorations are not used at your event here at Cubby Cafe. These items can contribute to significant waste and are harmful to the environment. This includes ‘eco-friendly balloons’.

Alternatives: Consider sustainable alternatives such as fresh flower petals, or reusable decorations made from natural materials like fabric or wood, paper or card.

Eco-Friendly Decor

Reusable Decor: Opt for decorations that can be reused or repurposed. Items such as cloth tablecloths, glass centerpieces, and potted plants not only reduce waste but also add an elegant touch to your event.

Natural Elements: Incorporate natural elements like flowers, greenery, and locally sourced materials to enhance the aesthetic while minimising environmental impact.

Sustainable Tableware

No Single-Use Plastics: Please do not bring single-use plastic plates, cups, cutlery, and straws.
Part of Cubby Cafe’s food and drink service is that we provide reusable tableware.

Waste Reduction and Recycling

Waste Minimization: Plan your event to minimize waste by carefully estimating the amount of food and drinks required. This helps reduce leftovers and unnecessary waste.

Recycling: Cubby Cafe has recycling bins available for Containers for Change, recycling, plastics and food scraps.

We encourage all guests to use these bins correctly to help us recycle as much as possible.

Food and Beverage Choices

We kindly ask you not to bring any outside food or beverages into Cubby Cafe, besides a birthday cake. Please support our little cafe by ordering from our menu or cabinet.

Locally Sourced Ingredients: Where ever possible, our menu items feature locally sourced, organic, and seasonal ingredients. This supports local farmers and reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation.

Eco-Friendly Transportation

Carpooling and Public Transport: Encourage your guests to carpool or use public transport to reduce carbon emissions associated with travel.

Bike-Friendly Venue: Cubby Cafe is bike-friendly, and we encourage guests to consider cycling to the event if possible.

Communication with Guests

Inform Your Guests: Please let your guests know about your commitment to hosting an eco-friendly event. You can include a note in your invitations or signage at the event to encourage everyone to participate in sustainability efforts.

Post-Event Clean-Up

Leave No Trace: After the event, please ensure that all decorations, materials, and waste are removed or disposed of in an eco-friendly manner.

We recommend taking any reusable items with you or donating them if possible.

Composting: If applicable, compost any organic waste such as food scraps or biodegradable materials. We can assist with composting arrangements if needed.

By following these guidelines, you’ll contribute to a greener, more sustainable event at Cubby Cafe. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to helping you host an eco-friendly and memorable function. If you have any questions or need further assistance in planning your event, please feel free to contact us.
