SILO
SILO is the UK’s first zero waste restaurant, located in Brighton, designed from back to front. Chef Douglas McMaster and the SILO team successfully eliminate the production of waste by choosing to trade directly with farmers, minimising the need for packaging. Any scraps and trimmings from the cooking or leftover food go straight into the on-site compost which in-turn goes back to the farmers. This Christmas, the team have created a festive menu using seasonal, local ingredients – some of which have been foraged by the chefs – with lots of vegan options. Dishes include Glazed pumpkin, pickled walnuts, rosehips and Chewy beetroot, potato skin, mushroom.
