Greener Food Menu - Why Greener Food?

Customers are asking for it!

The mix of London’s international communities, along with healthy-eating trends and increasing interest in green issues, means there’s now more demand for food made with healthy and sustainable ingredients.

Our food and drink industry has a large impact on the environment.

• Each year Londoners eat nearly 2.5 million tonnes of food – that’s 73,000 lorries full
• We produce nearly 900,000 tonnes of food waste (enough to feed 8 million people).
• 95% of  fruit and 50% of vegetables we buy in the UK comes    from abroad
  

Our food and drink industry has a large impact on the environment.
This waste and the distance travelled by our groceries has a damaging effect on the environment. With Greener Food it doesn’t have to be this way.
