Sustainability for me is not just about nature and our use of resources. It's also about how we look after and treat each other in the workplace. I like to think we set a good example in our kitchens and offices, we've created spaces where all opinions are respected. Hospitality jobs have a bad reputation and we are trying to change that from within... For our diners, our role is more complex. We don't want to be seen as preaching but we want them to leave understanding the incredibly complex relationship between food and nature. With globalisation, it's often hard to know where something is originally from, or how it is grown. We want to show people the amazing ingredients that can be grown in the UK and just down the road on Our Farm... So when I was given the opportunity to build my own farm, I seized it. I knew I could grow far superior ingredients that would yield amazing flavour for the kind of innovative dishes that I wanted to create. A lot has changed since I started running..
