Ethics

Our offering is ethical, dynamic, and delicious. We use British farms & fisheries and higher welfare produce wherever possible to have minimal impact on the environment. We are intentionally considerate of our social and environmental footprint and believe that food can be wonderful without negatively impacting people or the planet. 

Vegetables come from Ted’s Veg, all meat is native-breed from Swaledale, fresh fish is sustainably sourced from The Cornish Fishmonger in Cornwall and smoked fish from Lambton & Jackson in Essex.

We use bio-plant starch disposables and recycle our food waste with First Mile.

We’re proud of our suppliers, check out our Instagram to see all this in real-time.
