At the centre of this progression is our Head NPD Chef, Gavin Sinden – a chef who approaches ingredients with curiosity, respect and a determination to reduce waste wherever possible.
In an industry where waste is often seen as an unavoidable byproduct, Harriet Dean-Orange is proving that the future of Brighton hospitality is circular. We sat down with the founder of Harriet’s of Hove to discuss e-cargo bikes, “honkingly good” eco-cleaning, and why sustainability is the best marketing tool a restaurant can have.
We meet Tony Marks, owner of Starfish & Coffee on Egremont Place. Starfish & Coffee opened July 2017 and since then it has become 1st and 2nd in the Brighton Restaurant Awards ‘Best Brunch’ category as well as also winning the ‘Cafe Culture Award‘ 2019 and Brighton Food & Drink Awards ‘Best Cafe’ 2018
