Sustainability is everything to us and we want a hospitality industry that supports nature and takes responsibility for its impact on the planet.

In 2021, disillusioned with the industry we worked in, we began our Sustainability Restaurant in the form of The Velvet Garden and have been hosting Pop up evenings, showcasing the best local, seasonal produce ever since.

We believe in Plant based eating. Environmentally and ethically, ‘Plant based’ is undoubtably the food of the future.

Seasonality is the compass that guides our creativity. Every dish we create is dictated by what is in season here in the South West of England

We are committed to only using local growers, who’s practices reflect our own; low impact, regenerative, and organic principles. We are also keen growers, and every year we expand our Restaurant Garden to support ourselves and supplement our menus.

We believe in the importance of preserving ancient traditions and knowledge. Foraging for wild foods is a wonderful way for us to punctuate the seasons, whilst bringing a taste of nature’s bounty to our menus.

We focus on zero waste, offering set tasting menus to eliminate food waste and are always exploring different methods of food preservation. We source all of our ingredients from our incredible local Zero waste store.

Sustainability is woven into every choice we make. Everything in our space had a life before The Velvet Garden. Reused, up-cycled, preloved & handmade, from the Napkins to the Chandeliers, our glassware and much more.
