Four years ago, Pembroke became the 2nd Cambridge College to be awarded official Fairtrade status. Since 2006 we've introduced the only vegan tapas bar in a UK college, gone 100% free-range, been awarded Vegan society accreditation, pledged to only serve sustainable fish, etc, etc, etc. Basically, Pembroke has been setting the benchmark for sustainability in catering for a number of years.
On Wednesday, we combined a trilogy of ethical catering causes into one special Formal Hall. We began our meal with locally sourced, and seasonal, asparagus soup.
Next up came sustainable catfish with a gremolata crust and a fairtrade lemon sauce.
For the main course we served free-range chicken with locally sourced beets, champ potato, spinach and tarragon. The chicken was cooked sous vide, in-line with Pembroke's trend setting cooking practices ;-)
For the sweet, we served a real Pembroke favourite, chocolate brownie, made with Fairtrade cocoa and served with Fairtrade coffee ice cream.
Bon Appetite!
