Green Gathering isn’t just a festival for us; it’s a celebration of everything we believe in—sustainability, creativity, and community. Powered entirely by sun, wind, and the collective energy of its attendees, this non-profit, off-grid event offered four days of low-impact living, filled with music, art, and the spirit of change. The festival’s intimate solar-powered stages featured a wonderful mix of emerging and legendary acts, DJs, and storytellers, creating an atmosphere that was as electric as it was eco-friendly.

For our team, Green Gathering is always a refreshing and challenging experience. We step away from our from our usual routines, turn off the electricity, and fully embrace the festival’s off-grid lifestyle. It’s a chance for us to live the values we hold dear, even when it means adjusting to a simpler way of working. There’s something deeply rewarding about cooking and serving our Sri Lankan street food in this setting, knowing that we’re part of a collective effort to reduce our impact on the planet.

But what truly makes Green Gathering special for us is the people. Every year, we’re amazed by the warmth, friendliness, and eco-consciousness of the festival-goers who stop by our stall. It’s a joy to share our food with such a passionate community, and we always leave feeling inspired by the conversations, connections, and shared experiences.

As we say goodbye to another year at Green Gathering, we’re already looking forward to the next one. The festival’s spirit of sustainability, creativity, and community is something we carry with us long after the tents have been packed away. Thank you to everyone who came by, shared a meal with us, and made this year’s event so memorable. Until next time, stay inspired and keep living the green way!

A Feast for the Senses

The wedding was not only a celebration of love but also a vibrant showcase of flavours, aromas, and culinary traditions that reflected Alex and Sooraj’s heritage. We were honoured to provide full table service, ensuring every guest was attended to with the utmost care throughout the day.

As guests arrived, they were welcomed with a selection of refreshing reception drinks and an array of exquisite canapés. The setting was elegantly arranged, with beautifully garnished drinks that perfectly complemented the warm summer afternoon. Our team meticulously ensured that every detail was flawless, from the crispness of the drinks to the immaculate presentation of the canapés.

The starter was a true taste of India: Idli served with a trio of chutneys—tomato, coriander, and coconut. These soft, savoury rice and lentil cakes offered a refreshing start to the culinary journey of the evening, setting the tone for what was to come.

The main course was a symphony of traditional Indian dishes, each bursting with flavour and authenticity:

• Mutter Paneer – A delightful dish featuring a rich base of onions and tomatoes, topped with soft paneer cheese and peas.
• Dahl Fry – A comforting classic made from red lentils, tomatoes, and coconut, offering a creamy and hearty experience.
• Channa Masala – Spicy chickpeas in a fragrant onion gravy, providing a satisfying punch of flavour.

These dishes were accompanied by poppadoms, fragrant basmati rice, and an assortment of chutneys, allowing guests to mix and match flavours to their liking.

For dessert, we served Grilled Pineapple with Ice Cream and Toffee Sauce. The sweetness of the pineapple, paired with cool, creamy ice cream and rich toffee sauce, was the perfect way to round off the meal, leaving everyone with a lingering taste of summer.

Service with a Smile

Our role extended beyond providing the food. We offered full table service, ensuring that every guest’s needs were met throughout the evening. From pouring drinks with meticulous garnishes to smoothly and efficiently clearing tables, our team worked tirelessly to maintain the day’s magic. We also set up a coffee and tea service station to accompany the wedding cake, allowing guests to relax and savour the moment as the evening unfolded.

As the night drew to a close, our team took care of the venue, ensuring everything was cleared away and left in pristine condition. It was a long day, but seeing the joy on Alex and Sooraj’s faces made every moment worthwhile.

A Day to Remember

Alex and Sooraj’s wedding was a truly magical event, one that will remain in our hearts for years to come. The love between them was palpable, and the joy shared by their friends and family was infectious. We are so happy for the newlyweds and wish them a lifetime of happiness and love.

It was an honour to play a part in their special day, and we’re grateful to have contributed to the memories that will last a lifetime. Here’s to many more beautiful weddings and celebrations of love!

Cheers to Alex and Sooraj!

Fair-Trade and Organic: Ingredients with Integrity

One of our core values is sourcing the finest organic ingredients, not just for their superior taste and nutritional benefits, but because of the positive impact they have on the planet and the communities that produce them. We take immense pride in using fair-trade Ceylon tea and organic spices, grown and harvested on our land in Sri Lanka. These ingredients are the heart of our dishes, offering a rich tapestry of flavours that are as authentic as they are ethically sourced.

Our commitment to fair trade goes beyond just ingredients; it’s about supporting sustainable farming practices that uplift communities. By choosing fair-trade products, we ensure that farmers receive fair wages and work in safe conditions, fostering a cycle of growth and prosperity. This dedication to ethical sourcing means that every cup of tea, every sprinkle of spice, and every bite of food from Ceylon and Beyond carries with it a promise of sustainability and fairness.

From Earth to Plate: Sustainable Choices in Every Dish

Our ‘earth to plate’ philosophy is more than just a catchy phrase—it’s the foundation of everything we do. We believe that food should be a celebration of nature’s bounty, honouring the vibrant flavours and nutritional value of each ingredient. By using locally sourced fresh produce, organic grains and pulses, and high-welfare animal products, we ensure that our dishes are not only delicious but also kind to the planet.

Cooking with extra virgin coconut oil and using wholefood alternative proteins, like nuts and pulses, are just some of the ways we promote healthy, sustainable choices in our menu. Our culinary heritage from Sri Lanka, combined with modern techniques, allows us to create dishes that are both nourishing and full of flavour. Whether it’s a street food stall at a local market or a bespoke dining experience for your wedding day, we bring the same level of care and attention to every meal.
