Locally grown, picked and made…

Lime Food Design Ltd, a catering and event company was formed in 2007, after sisters Kathryn Seal and Nicola Simpson identified the need for a high-end catering firm in the South of England. The goal was to create a boutique caterer producing fabulous tasting food, while upholding the customer service, design principles and environmental principles that the company was founded with :-

Lime and the environment – When Lime was conceived a big part of the planning was in the effect throw away events had on the local and international environment, ingredients and people. Hence an environmental policy was born. We are constantly adding to our environmental and sustainable commitment.

Overview

We are full supporters of the Food Standards Agency Eat Well campaign which promotes healthy eating – Eat Well, Be Well. We actively campaign for healthy eating – eating the right foods in the right proportions. Through our café outlets and events that we cater at, we advise customers through the ‘eat well plate’.

We have also taught over 1000 children over the past year (through the Year of Food and Farming) where ingredients comes from and how it then turns into healthy food. We have fact sheets detailing what should be eaten and also fun colouring sheets for use at our cafes and events.

As all our food is homemade, we control what is included in the recipes and that salt, sugars and fats are regulated and natural ingredients are used. Our drinks are organic and don’t contain artificial ingredients.
