In the mood for a night out in the UK capital? Why not try out one of the premiere sustainable restaurants in London! Acorn House is pitched as London’s first truly eco-friendly training restaurant and describes itself as “set to alter the image of the restaurant industry as well as transform the way in which people eat out.” The innovative restaurant employs an excellent set of sustainable strategies including composting and recycling all of its waste, sourcing local and seasonal ingredients, and training generations of young chefs in the finer points of eco-friendly cuisine. These features have led UK Newspaper The Times to describe Acorn House as “the most important restaurant to open in London in the past 200 years.”

I wrote about the same restaurant in ‘Acorn House’ Restaurant (London)…’Seasonal, Sustainable, Simple’ in March 2007 on Serge the Concierge.
Along the same lines, this week The Clerkenwell Kitchen was voted ‘Best Sustainable Restaurant’ in Time Out London 2008 Awards…
