Silo: Pioneering Zero-Waste Dining with Seasonal British Flavors
Silo in Hackney Wick is a trailblazing modern British restaurant championing zero-waste dining with an ethos rooted in sustainability, innovation, and design. Founded by chef Douglas McMaster, the restaurant pioneered the closed-loop cooking movement, crafting a dining experience where everything — from in-house milled flour to fermented vegetables and upcycled furnishings — reflects an uncompromising dedication to ecological integrity. The ever-evolving tasting menu celebrates seasonal British ingredients, foraged produce, and ancient techniques like fermentation and pickling, all within a sleek, open-plan space that buzzes with creative energy and purpose. Silo’s commitment to conscious dining extends to every detail — from its fermentation-focused menu and house-milled bread to its curated list of natural wines. Reviewers at Hot Dinners praise its cutting-edge sustainability model and high-level execution, positioning it as a fine dining destination that’s as cerebral as it is soulful. Ideal for special occasions, Silo offers a memorable dinner service Wednesday to Saturday, with Saturday lunch available for those seeking an immersive daytime experience. Vegetarian and vegan diners are well-catered for, and the restaurant sometimes offers seasonal specials or collaborative tasting events.
