It’s been a buzzword for about 10 years, but nowadays the term ‘sustainable’ is in danger of becoming a cliché. With so many products, brands and restaurants trying to market themselves under the umbrella, it’s hard to separate out those with a legitimate claim on the word from the bandwagon-jumpers.

From a vegan restaurant inside Selfridges, to restaurants using nearly 100% British produce, these are establishments that you can go to certain in the knowledge that they are doing all they can to get things right.
