London – Silo Brighton is a restaurant, bakery and coffee house that uses a pre-industrial food system to ensure its zero-waste policy.

  • Chef Douglas McMaster believes food affects the health of people, the environment and the economy
  • Ingredients are sourced locally and food waste is processed via an in-house composter 

Speaking to LS:N Global at last week’s Food and Drink Network Evening, Douglas McMaster, chef and founder of Silo Brighton, explained why he believes there is a delicious alternative to the mainstream food industry.

‘We have found a more economical form of production, a more tasty product and a far more ecologically sound product,’ he said.

With increased awareness about the provenance of food and a back-to-basics approach, McMaster argues, brands can rediscover incredible flavours lost amid the roar of mass production.

​The Big Picture

Silo Brighton uses pure ingredients born from traditional farming methods. Read our Ancient Appetites microtrend to discover why brands and consumers are re-adopting our ancestral eating habits as a source of health and wellness.
