Top zero waste restaurants in London

Silo London
Silo is a restaurant designed from back to front, always with the bin in mind. The production of waste has been eliminated by simply choosing to trade directly with farmers, using re-usable delivery vessels and choosing local ingredients that themselves generated no waste. Founded by Doug McMaster, Silo has just moved their acclaimed zero-waste Brighton restaurant, Silo, into a beautiful East London warehouse at CRATE Brewery (who he’s partnering up with), overlooking the canal in Hackney Wick.
All dishes on the daily-changing, six-course tasting menu are designed with the zero waste in mind and the entire supply chain produces no waste at all!

Spring
Spring brings warmth and elegance within a beautiful dining space set in the New Wing of the iconic Somerset House, in the arts and cultural heart of London. At Spring food is celebrated for its conviviality and the joyfulness of sharing seasonal produce. Their cooking is produce driven and cooked by a team of people who are passionate about what they do and who feel truly privileged to work with beautiful local ingredients.
Following on from the success of the sustainable Scratch Menu, which was launched in November 2016 to raise awareness on food waste, founder Skye was inspired to take the initiative further and create a new challenge for the restaurant in 2018. After attending a talk by founder of grassroots organisations A Plastic Planet, Sian Sutherland, and watching Netflix documentary ‘Plastic Ocean’, Skye decided to target the overwhelming use of plastic in the restaurant industry. Skye eliminated plastic straws in November of 2018 this was followed by the introduction of bio-degradable cling film alternatives.
