Silo London: Pioneering Zero-Waste Dining in East London

Nestled in the creative hub of Hackney Wick, Silo London stands as the world's first zero-waste restaurant, offering a revolutionary approach to sustainable gastronomy. Located on the first floor of The White Building overlooking the River Lea, this innovative dining destination has earned a coveted Green Michelin Star for its commitment to environmental responsibility.

A Sustainable Culinary Experience

Founded by visionary chef Douglas McMaster, Silo's menu is a masterful expression of natural farming and closed-loop cooking. Each dish demonstrates that quality and sustainability can coexist harmoniously, with ingredients that are thoughtfully sourced, preserved, and utilized to eliminate waste entirely.

The restaurant's tasting menu showcases creative modern European cuisine with bold, unexpected flavor combinations. Signature offerings include their house-milled flour 'Siloaf' bread, innovative mushroom dishes, and memorable desserts like their celebrated ice cream sandwich.

Atmosphere and Setting

Silo offers a spacious, relaxed dining environment with an open kitchen concept that brings transparency to the culinary process. Guests can choose between counter seating around the kitchen and hearth for an immersive experience, comfortable dining room tables, or a private dining room for special occasions.

The restaurant's Bauhaus-inspired aesthetic features high ceilings and industrial charm, creating a stylish yet unpretentious atmosphere that complements its forward-thinking philosophy.

Commitment to Zero Waste

Every aspect of Silo reflects its zero-waste ethos—from recycled glass crockery and upcycled furnishings to their aerobic digester that transforms organic waste into compost. This comprehensive approach to sustainability extends to their thoughtfully curated drink selection, featuring natural wines, innovative cocktails, and locally sourced beverages.

Whether you're a dedicated environmentalist or simply seeking an exceptional dining experience with purpose, Silo London offers a meal that satisfies both conscience and palate—proving that the future of dining can be both responsible and remarkable.
