Celebrating Earth Day
Earth Day falls on April 22nd each year, with events taking place around the world to demonstrate support for environmental protection. The day serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and nurture the environment and this year, ‘Meet The Vegans’ (MTV) and Chef Greg Hanger are hosting an evening at Unity Diner in London, to mark the day and emphasise the positive impact that plant-based diets have on our planet.
Celebrated for his Michelin-starred expertise and unwavering commitment to sustainability, Chef Greg has curated a special five-course menu for the occasion, and Honestly Tasty are sponsoring the event to help raise awareness - providing award-winning cheese for exclusive canapes on arrival. By centering an event around vegan dining, Meet The Vegans hopes to highlight the sustainable and ethical benefits of a plant-based lifestyle.

The Earth Day Supper Club
Ever wondered what ocean foam or edible plastic tastes like?! Probably not - but we hope you’re curious now! The menu will incorporate interesting talking points like these, alongside locally foraged ingredients such as yarrow (foraging provides a low-impact way of sourcing ingredients) and veg supplied by Streetbox - who source their produce from wholesale markets around London, finding surplus fruit and veg that will otherwise go to waste, to create fresh and seasonal boxes for their customers every every week!
The menu has been designed to create an immersive journey - connecting guests with the origins of their food. By curating a menu that showcases variety, flavour, and creativity in vegan cooking, the team hope to dispel any myths about plant-based diets being restrictive or uninteresting. By sharing stories about the dishes, their ingredients, and their environmental benefits, the team hopes to inspire guests to consider incorporating more plant-based meals into their lives, not just for their health but for the health of our planet too.
