GOING GREEN:
Savoury’s is focused on sustainable food service practices. Along with consistently delivering high quality catering services, Savoury’s menus are created from locally grown, pesticide and hormone free foods. We utilize eco-friendly goods in both the kitchen and the service areas by using products like paper plates and plastic serving ware made from 100% biodegradable and compostable materials. Savoury’s also maintains an extensive recycling program as well as a new composting program through the City of Palm Springs by partnering with the Palm Springs Convention Center, Palm Springs Disposal Service and CAL BIO-MASS.
