New sustainability market to launch in London as bar and restaurant team up

Two UK bar and restaurant chains have announced that they are teaming up to launch a new sustainability-themed market in London.

CRATE Brewery is partnering with Silo London to create the White Building Market, which will focus on sustainability driven produce and retail.

The new market will be in the White Building in Hackney Wick from Thursday to Sunday, and is set to open for the first time next Thursday (22 October).

It will showcase products from companies selected for their approaches to sustainability within their sectors, including ceramics firm Potter’s Thumb and homeware products from Weez and Merl.

Jess Seaton, director of CRATE, commented: “We’re so pleased to be building on our vision for The White Building and give a platform for these producers and to showcase such unique, sustainable and beautiful products.”

Doug McMaster, chef patron of SILO, added: “It’s been an extraordinary year, and as a restaurant we cannot thank our suppliers enough for the support.

“We’re looking forward to growing and developing this aspect and feel this is an excellent opportunity to introduce these great businesses directly to our friends and customers”.
