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. Dishes include Glazed pumpkin, pickled walnuts, rosehips; Jerusalem artichoke, chestnut, whey; Chewy beetroot, potato skin, mushroom; Pollock, jerusalem artichoke, chestnut; Pheasant crown, preserved berries.

The Falcon – Buntingford, Hertfordshire *NEW OPENING*

This December, chef Kieren Steinborn-Busse will open his first restaurant with his wife Natasha in her home county of Hertfordshire in a beautiful Grade II cottage. Deliberately moving away from overcomplicated, haute cuisine, Kieren will change his menu regularly, based on the produce sourced locally from the likes of Solitaire Farm, Priors Hall Farm and The Cheese Plate, a local cheesemonger in the town. The Christmas menu will be no different with dishes such as Celeriac soup, roasted hazelnut & thyme butter; Partridge, pheasant & pear terrine, pickled vegetables; Riseley & potato pie, braised rainbow chard; Solitaire Farm pork loin, apple & chestnut stuffing, roast squash, apple brandy sauce.
