British Meat
We aim to use only British meat on our menus, sourced from farms chosen for their approach to animal welfare, environmental care and consistency. We work with trusted butchers across the UK to ensure quality and provenance at every stage.
It’s a straightforward approach, rooted in doing things properly and letting the ingredients speak for themselves.
British Cheese
We are committed to serving British cheeses on our menus, working with dairies and producers who share the same focus on animal welfare, environmental care and consistency.
Everything is selected for its provenance and quality, with a focus on ingredients that reflect where they come from.
Ethical Seafood
We aim to source fish and seafood in line with the Marine Conservation Society’s Good Fish Guide, supporting the protection of our oceans and the communities that depend on them.
This means choosing fish and seafood rated 1, 2 or 3, classed as ‘best choice’ or ‘ok to eat’, from responsibly managed fisheries and farms with lower environmental impact.
By focusing on abundant, responsibly sourced species, we support marine ecosystems while continuing to celebrate the variety of seafood available to our chefs.
Reducing Air Freight
Where possible, we avoid air-freighted fresh produce, choosing ingredients that travel by land or sea instead. It’s a practical step that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions while keeping our menus rooted in seasonality and provenance.
Promoting Plant-Based
Plant based dishes play an important role in how we design our menus. They offer a lighter, more sustainable way to eat while celebrating the flavour and versatility of vegetables, grains and pulses.
Our chefs approach plant based cooking with creativity and skill, creating dishes that feel vibrant, satisfying and full of flavour.
Where possible, we draw inspiration from the gardens and green spaces around our venues, with ingredients grown on site or nearby helping to shape seasonal menus.
By giving plant based food the same care and attention as every other dish, it becomes a natural and appealing choice.

Commitment to Zero Carbon
We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of the food we serve and how we operate, working closely with clients and partners to support ambitions around zero carbon and zero waste.
This includes thoughtful sourcing, reducing food waste and supporting initiatives that help redistribute surplus food. Across the wider group, partnerships with organisations such as Olio, Too Good To Go and Neighbourly help ensure surplus food supports local communities.
Our approach aligns with the wider Compass Planet Promise, focusing on reducing emissions, cutting waste and building a more sustainable food system.
