Our Sustainability Commitments

The Hooked-on Group’s family of restaurants are fully committed to operating in a sociably and sustainably responsible way. We source our produce as locally as possible and aim for high welfare and sustainable standards. We strive to reduce our environmental impact, always endeavour to fulfil our social responsibilities and provide healthy and sustainable food to our customers. We recognise it is our responsibility to encourage our suppliers and contractors to minimise any negative environmental and social effects associated with the products and services they provide. We joined the Green Tourism Business Scheme in 2007 and then went on to become a North East founding member of the Sustainable Restaurant Association in 2010. In line with the broad focus areas of the SRA we have looked to improve our overall sustainability not just in the food that we purchase but also our environmental impact and social engagement as well. In 2012 we achieved the Sustainable Restaurant Association’s Three-Star Sustainability Champion Status and we are currently working towards the SRA’s new Food Made Good accreditation. OUR AIMS Our aim is to continually increase our commitment to sustainability and communicate to our staff, customers and suppliers our commitment to sustainable food, minimising environmental impact and increasing social engagement. To allow us to meet our aims we try to provide food that is nutritious and contributes to a healthy diet. We aim to raise staff, customers and supplier awareness of the environmental and social benefits effects of a sustainable diet via promotion and product information. We aim to constantly monitor our energy and waste policies and seek to limit our environmental impact. We support the communities we engage with, including customers, employees, the local community and the institutions that support them.
