Silo

Silo Hackney is a blueprint for the future of dining. Tucked inside a striking warehouse space in Hackney Wick, Silo is the world’s first zero-waste restaurant, founded by chef Douglas McMaster with a bold mission: to eliminate the bin from the kitchen entirely.

Every detail of the venue reflects this ethos. From recycled glass crockery and upcycled plastic counters to lampshades made from mushrooms, sustainability is built into the bones of the space. The open kitchen, centred around a roaring live-fire grill, brings energy and transparency to the dining experience.

Silo’s menu is a constantly evolving showcase of modern, low-waste cuisine. Expect inventive dishes built around seasonal British ingredients, many of which are fermented, preserved, or foraged. Their in-house milled flour becomes the signature 'siloaf' bread, which even reappears in dessert form. Drinks are equally thoughtful - ferments, natural wines, and cocktails designed to complement rather than overpower the food.

Located above CRATE Brewery and overlooking the canal, Silo offers a relaxed yet refined atmosphere with a Bauhaus-inspired aesthetic, high ceilings, and industrial charm. Whether you're there for the five-course tasting menu or a Saturday lunch, it’s a place where innovation meets integrity.
