Sustainability is more than a buzzword; it’s a vital part of modern living, from reducing plastic to closing the loop on food waste. The restaurant industry, ever evolving, presents fierce competition, yet sustainability remains one of the most powerful ways to stand out. Eco-conscious customers love dining where organic, local, zero-waste and ethical practices are at the core. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the most compelling eco-friendly restaurants in London, and how Brewsters Waste Disposal can help keep your back-of-house operations green, too.

Why Eco-Friendly Dining Matters (And How Brewsters Supports It)

Today’s diners want more than a great meal; they expect restaurants to minimise food miles, eliminate plastic, cut waste, and act responsibly. From composting and anaerobic digestion to turning food scraps into renewable energy, businesses can elevate their green credentials and side-step waste-related costs while contributing to the circular economy.

At Brewsters Waste Management, we specialise in turning food waste into renewable energy, offering efficient, eco-conscious disposal solutions for London’s most innovative kitchens. Now, let’s spotlight exemplary restaurants that bring sustainable dining to life.

1. Silo (Hackney Wick): London’s Zero-Waste Pioneer

Silo ignores bins (literally). Pioneering nose-to-tail and zero-waste sustainability, the restaurant mills its own flour, churns butter in-house, composts scraps, and uses upcycled materials down to the counter and décor. A true manifesto for eco dining.

Silo’s compost-heavy approach highlights the importance of efficient food-waste removal, which Brewsters supports through renewable energy conversion, keeping even the most resourceful kitchens clean and green.

2. Plates (Old Street): The UK’s First Michelin-Starred Vegan Restaurant

In February 2025, Plates London made history as the UK’s first vegetarian Michelin-starred restaurant. Its fully plant-based menus showcase creative, seasonal cuisine, earning accolades for both culinary excellence and sustainability.

Plant-based menus often generate different types of food waste (peelings, pulp, unused produce), making efficient composting and disposal essential.

3. Fallow (Haymarket): B-Corp Certified, Bib Gourmand Sustainability

Fallow, located at St James’s Market, focuses on modern British cooking rooted in sustainable sourcing. A certified B Corporation and named Sustainable Restaurant of the Year (2022) by GQ and Marie Claire, it also holds a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide.

B Corp certification and sustainable accolades underscore the importance of environmental standards in dining, which Brewsters can help uphold via eco-disposal strategies that match these kitchens’ ethos.

4. Nest (Old Street): Seasonal British and Transparent

With a philosophy built on British ingredients and reduced food miles, Nest works closely with independent producers and farmers. Seasonal menus and transparent practices define the dining journey.

Seasonal menus generate variable waste profiles; our services adapt dynamically to fluctuating organic disposal needs.

5. Jikoni (Marylebone): Borderless, Global Sustainable Cuisine

Jikoni blends South Asian, East African and Middle Eastern influences with British sensibilities. It’s also the first independent UK restaurant to become carbon neutral, investing in local food projects and sustainable operations.

Carbon-neutral kitchens align with Brewsters’ aims; efficient food waste removal helps tighten the sustainability loop and reduce emissions.

6. Holy Carrot (Notting Hill): Vegetarian Small Plates, Sustainable Buzz

Holy Carrot, opened in late 2024, dazzles with Instagram-ready interiors and a seasonal vegetarian small-plate menu. Though new, it represents the buzz around sustainable, plant-forward London dining.

Smaller plates and vegetarian formats reduce heavier waste but still benefit from streamlined organic disposal, which is exactly what Brewsters offers.

Leading the Way in Eco Dining and Waste Management

London’s eco-dining scene is thriving, from zero-waste pioneers like Silo, to Michelin-recognised vegan innovation at Plates, and B Corp excellence at Fallow. Each restaurant shows that when sustainability and cuisine unite, the impact is powerful.
