The UK discards over 9.52 million tonnes of food every year*, and InSinkErator is determined to change that.

This spring, the brand is making a bold statement with the launch of its first-ever restaurant: La Poubelle. Opening in the heart of Shoreditch, it sets out to redefine fine dining by transforming would-be food waste into culinary art.

Everything to know about La Poubelle
At the heart of the restaurant is a carefully crafted tasting menu, ‘Food Waste, Reimagined’, which combines classic French culinary techniques with modern influences and a no food waste philosophy.

The seven-course tasting menu offers an elevated dining experience that explores nose-to-tail and root-to-stem cooking from a fine-dining approach.

Ingredients that might otherwise be discarded have been expertly transformed into refined, unexpected delicacies, challenging perceptions of what belongs on a plate.

Guests are invited to experience food waste as they’ve never seen it before for £149 per person (price inclusive of wine pairings).

La Poubelle is reimagining the fine dining experience, but ultimately tackling food waste
Ashley Munden, Managing Director of InSinkErator UK, explains the thought process behind the launch of La Poubelle”

“For a long time, we’ve wanted to take on a new challenge. We’ve wanted to open a restaurant that truly challenges expectations, and with the UK wasting millions of tonnes of food every year, now felt like the right moment to launch La Poubelle.

“La Poubelle is a unique dining experience. It is a bistro where every dish is French-rooted but fused with contemporary influences and created mostly from ingredients that would otherwise go to waste.

“With expert chefs who are constantly exploring new ways to reduce food waste running the kitchen and every ingredient being carefully sourced, we’ve crafted a tasting menu that reimagines the current dining and culinary scene.

“We are delighted to open La Poubelle’s doors and offer London a one-of-a-kind culinary experience that combines innovation, quality and exceptional flavour, while also demonstrating that food waste can be deliciously reimagined.”
