Shambhu's (Vegan Caterers)
Shambhu’s offers good quality, reasonably priced, home-cooked vegan catering, drawing inspiration from cuisines around the world, including Asian, European, Latin American and Middle Eastern.
We cater for meetings, conferences, classes, seminars, festivals, parties, functions and various other events, and serve individuals at work and home.
We generally cover London, and the home counties to the north and west of London. We offer free deliveries to many London locations.
Examples of festivals where we have catered, some of them outside London, include: Carshalton Green Fair, Redbridge Green Fair, Camden Green Fair, Real Food Market, London Vegan Festival, West Midlands Vegan Festival, Brighton Eco Veggie Fayre, Animal Aid’s Christmas Fayre, etc.
Our offerings include a variety of canapés, main meals, salads, snacks and desserts. While all our items are suitable for vegans, our intention is to demonstrate how great vegan food can be for non-vegans and vegans alike. With this in mind, some of our clients order all-vegan buffets from us so that their guests can all enjoy the same food, while simultaneously meeting many special dietary requirements – a win-win for guests and organisers.
We have set out our ethical stance on our website:
www.shambhus.co.uk/our-ethical-stance
We use organic and fairtrade ingredients where possible, and we’re registered with the Vegan Society.
We serve our food using compostable plates, cutlery, bowls, containers, cups etc. For buffets, we generally deliver the food in foil containers, which we aim to take back after the event for reuse.

Ethical and Environmental Policy
Our ethical stance is set out on our website at this link:http://www.shambhus.co.uk/our-ethical-stance
* All our products are vegan, which already goes a significant way to having a relatively low overall eco- and carbon-footprint. Shambhu’s is registered with the Vegan Society.
* We use organic and fairtrade ingredients as far as possible.
* We package our food in containers/bowls made of sustainably-sourced plant fibre and therefore compostable, and we offer to take back plastic container-lids for recycling. For buffets, food might arrive in large foil containers which we offer to take back for reuse when possible; otherwise they are recyclable.
* On request, we provide strong cutlery made of vegetable starch which we offer to take back for reuse when possible; otherwise it is compostable.
* On request, we provide sturdy plates made of sustainably-sourced plant fibre and therefore compostable.
* On occasions when we are serving hot drinks, we provide compostable disposable cups if non-disposable cups/mugs are not supplied on site.
* We generally carry out our deliveries in a low-emissions petrol-electric hybrid vehicle.
* We carry out our festival catering operations such that we minimise food wastage. Often, we end up wasting no food.
