Sustainability

Catering for the conscientious too

From local sourcing to minimising food waste, we’ve made it our mission to help you indulge without excessive waste or strain on the planet.

Local sourcing

The fewer miles food does, the better it tastes and the better it is for the environment. That’s why we source as locally as possible. We buy with the seasons, however brief and also however large the quantity – preserving excess fleeting flavours in cordials, jams, jellies and powders to be star guests around the calendar.

No to single-use plastics

Glassware, glass bottles, wheat straws, and biodegradable and compostable products have replaced single-use plastics wherever practical, lowering our carbon footprint and reducing our non-recyclable waste production.

Driving emissions down

We replaced our day-to-day vehicles in 2019, long ahead of the implementation of the new Ultra Low Emission Zone across London. Our Ford EcoBlue Transit vans comply with the Euro6 emissions standard, and our fully electric Nissan van helps lower our overall carbon footprint.

Limiting waste

Decades of experience have taught us how to be unnervingly accurate with the amount of food we prepare. But because it’s inevitable that sometimes we have surplus, we work with the Plan Zheroes charity, which carries it to local hostels and shelters. Any food waste we produce that can't be donated is recycled at our base in South Quay, where it’s recycled to form compost, energy (using anaerobic digestion) and fertilisers for farms in Kent.

A London Living Wage employer

We pay at least the London Living Wage to everyone involved in our events. This is not the norm in any industry yet – least of all in hospitality – but we believe it helps our team deliver the very best experience for you. And that’s what we live for.
