How we carbon-cost our menus
Our green menus aren’t plant-based: transporting fruit and vegetables from across the globe isn’t good for the planet, nor is highly processed vegan food. Instead, we’ve worked with suppliers and producers to calculate the CO2 equivalent value of each dish – and created outstanding menus that won’t cost the earth.
Each dish has been carefully chosen for its farm-to-fork emissions, and for being A-rated. That means we have considered* how each ingredient has been farmed, transported, and packaged, and the CO2 equivalent value was less than 500g. The CO2e value of the average UK meal is 1.7kg.
*Using data provided by the World Resources Institute and the Poore & Nemecek (2018) study, published in the journal Science, which is the largest meta-analysis of food systems to date.
