Sustainability

By using the freshest, best-quality ingredients sourced responsibly from local suppliers, we are creating a better experience for our customers, the community, and the environment. We are ensuring sustainability is at the heart of our business, with a series of sustainability pledges across our iconic and exclusive restaurants, bars and events venues.

Our sustainable practices pledges include an assurance to reduce the use of plastic, switching to metal cutlery, china crockery and glassware for food consumed in our cafes. Where disposable packaging is unavoidable, it will be minimised and aligned with the company’s strict waste management protocols. Furthermore, we have also completely eliminated the use of plastic straws across all our venues and events.

In order to tackle food waste, we have introduced a set of food waste reduction rules and a new, seasonal minimal-waste conferencing and events menu. Darren Deadman tells us more.

We are thrilled to have received two awards at the Foodservice Cateys on Friday 11 October. Gaining industry recognition is a testament to the hard work of the Searcys teams across the business. We would like to thank all of our customers and clients for their continued support and the Cateys.

BRINGING CLEAN WATER TO THE WORLD

Our sustainable water supplier, BELU provide our venues with 100% carbon neutral bottled water. Helping to transform lives worldwide with clean water, all of Belu profits go to the charity WaterAid. Searcys will be helping to make a difference to the 884 million people living without clean water in the world.

In July 2019, 30 Euston Square and Searcys joined forces to host New Horizon Youth Centre’s annual summer fundraiser. New Horizon Youth Centre is a registered charity founded in 1967 by Lord Longford to address the needs of vulnerable or young people at risk.

Searcys is proud to announce a new partnership with London charity Hotel School, created to teach hospitality skills to homeless and vulnerable people, empowering them to find sustainable employment whilst also providing support throughout their first steps into work.

As part of our goal to reduce use of plastic, we have introduced KeepCups at our cafes, offering visitors a free coffee if they purchase one of our KeepCups.
