Social Responsibilities

Community
We firmly believe that in addition to being as environmentally sustainable as possible, it’s our duty to play an active and positive part in our local community.
We have partnered with our most local primary school and are working with the teachers and pupils on an ongoing basis, to help them understand where their food comes from, how to grow it and to connect an inner-city school with the food chain that is in concrete covered London an alien idea to many. We have donated a Greenhouse to them and over time hope that we will be able, with the children, grow a large portion of our homemade condiment ingredients and garnishes.​​​
Social
​​For our petit fours, we have set up an initiative with a registered charity called Care Trade. The charity teaches adults with severe autism in a professional kitchen environment, enabling them to develop skills and confidence to take on roles in the hospitality trade. All revenue from the petit fours goes directly to Care trade. ​​
Green
Smith & Brock
Where possible, for our events, we buy directly from growers and farmers and in a very limited (but very fulfilling) way, attempt to grow our own. Our main vegetable supplier Smith & Brock are a family owned and run business who promote the use of UK products from local farms and growers, whilst also being considerate on their packaging and only using biodegradable and recyclable materials. Smith & Brock places high value on empowering their team to grow, develop and flourish.

Flourish Farm Shop
Our latest addition to our dedicated partners is Flourish Farm Shop. Flourish is an original horse-drawn machinery farm renowned for cultivating rare and exceptional vegetable varieties. Committed to regenerative agriculture and nurturing biodiversity, Flourish minimises food miles and stands apart from most suppliers by harvesting vegetables only once an order is placed, meaning they go from being in the ground to being delivered within 48 hours.
​
Both partners elevate our plant-based dishes, whether mains, bites, or sides, by providing exceptional, sustainably grown produce that are as flavourful as they are conscious.
Fish
Flying Fish
We chose Flying Fish Seafoods as our sustainable seafood supplier as they adhere to the strictest guidelines, promote responsible fishing practices and ensure that each catch is not only fresh and delicious but respectful of marine biodiversity.
Flying Fish Seafoods sources their seafood from reputable suppliers, seafood markets and fishermen with the highest welfare standards. Through transparent sourcing and traceability measures, they forge a vital link between the plate and the sea. The health of our oceans is increasingly imperilled, so sustainable fish suppliers are vital in championing a future where seafood delights coexist harmoniously with thriving marine ecosystems.
Meat
To ensure an exquisite and thought-through taste in every dish, we carefully selected our meat producer, Taste Tradition, leaders in regenerative agriculture. For three generations, the Ashbridge family has championed traditional farming, animal welfare, and biodiversity, enriching the British countryside. With their own butchery, they oversee every step, from rearing to delivering premium, beautifully flavoured produce.
Tempus
For our charcuterie dishes, we're proud to partner exclusively with Tempus, the award-winning artisans of British meat. Renowned for their impeccable craftsmanship, Tempus embodies the finest traditions and flavours. At the heart of their food ethos is their commitment to using only retired animals, including pigs that are four to five times larger than commercial breeds, to ensure deeper flavour and a more responsible approach to meat production. Like us, they embrace nose-to-tail practices, whilst also working with trusted farmers and energy-efficient production.
Dairy
Ampersand Dairy
Ampersand Dairy crafts award-winning cultured butter of unparalleled quality, using time-honored techniques and the finest British cream. Their dedication to sustainability is reflected in their meticulous small-batch production, which emphasises local sourcing and minimises environmental impact.
Sparkling
Sugrue
When it comes to bubbles, we believe in serving only the best. That’s why we’re proud to partner exclusively with Sugrue South Downs, an award-winning English winery renowned for its sustainable viticulture and bold, artisan approach to winemaking.
Their story is as remarkable as their wines: In the early 2000s, Father McMahon enlisted winemaker Dermot Sugrue to plant a vineyard in West Sussex for the priests. The first harvest, however, was lost to hungry birds, putting dreams of a 2008 vintage to rest. Undeterred, Dermot pressed on, turning challenges into opportunities and creating one of England’s most celebrated single-vineyard wines.
At Discreet, we’re honoured to bring Sugrue’s exceptional sparkling wines to your event, elevating every celebration with a touch of brilliance.
Wine
Liberty Wine
Liberty Wines and their expertise has been pivitol in curating our selection of organically certified European producers. As a Carbon Neutral Standard certified company, Liberty exemplifies refined environmental stewardship through energy-efficient practices and responsible sourcing.
Non-Alcoholic
Kore
Having an exceptional non-alcoholic partner is a cornerstone of our commitment to ensuring every guest has something truly delightful to drink. That’s why we chose to collaborate with Kore Drinks, a distributor with a seriously impressive palate. Founded by the creators of London Cocktail Club, Kore brings the same expert craftsmanship and flair to curating an incredible portfolio of non-alcoholic brands. With their deep-rooted passion for mixology, they handpick only the most exciting, high-quality drinks to ensure their drinks offering are bold, complex, and satisfying.
