Douglas McMaster is the father of the world’s first zero waste restaurant Silo, in Hackney Wick.

Following time spent in the world’s top kitchens such as St. JOHN, The Fat Duck and Noma, at the age of 21 Douglas entered and won a BBC competition, becoming the country’s ‘best young chef.

In 2010, he was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Melbourne to experiment with a zero-waste café under the direction and mentorship of thought leader Joost Bakker. From there, Douglas built the foundations of what is now a macro-philosophy that underpins his 'Silo System' mentality, whereby waste can be intelligently designed out of food systems.

In 2014, Douglas opened Silo in Brighton, pioneering a closed loop system of food production. He relocated to East London in October 2019 where the restaurant earned a Michelin Green Star for its exceptional commitment to sustainability. Its final service was in December 2025 closing one chapter and opening the 'Silo System' up to global opportunity.

His recent collaborations have been in restaurants and with chefs from Mexico City, St. Moritz, and Lisbon and beyond... At the end of 2025, Douglas made the TIME 100 Climate as one of the influential leaders driving business climate action.

  • All menus are designed nut-free (unless specified otherwise), but please be aware food is prepared in kitchens where nuts, gluten, and other allergens may be present.
  • Feasting Experiences can only facilitate dietary requirements as outlined on the individual chef's booking page.
  • Where alternative dishes are available, the same dish will be used for vegan and dairy-free.
  • While we aim to keep all dietary alternatives as close to the original menu dish as possible, in some circumstances, where a direct substitute is not possible, there may be changes to the entire dish.
  • Available alternative menu options must always be requested in advance via the dietaries form. Do not forget this if booking for a group, we are in a field so alternatives are not readily available.
  • Banquets - unless specified otherwise on the chef's page, there is a vegan alternative for all our larger banquet restaurants (long table and woodland), but they must be requested in advance via the dietaries form.
  • Banquets - are served sharing style, so, if you have a dietary requirement, your dish will likely be served individually plated instead.
  • The Chef's Table cannot accommodate any dietary requirements other than those outlined on the individual chef's page, due to the style of the experience.
  • The Woodland Banquet will take place come rain or shine as we have a beautiful canopy in the woodland to use in the event of rain so you don’t miss your meal!

Unless available at the point of booking, we don't have a dedicated children's menu, so if you’re planning for them to eat with you they’ll need to be booked as an additional seat.
