Earth Day 2025: From Ideas to Impact |
A year ago, we marked Earth Day by announcing our ambition: to work with the University of Brighton and our city’s hospitality community to co-create a Sustainability Toolkit that would offer real, practical support for restaurants wanting to tread more lightly on the planet. Today, we’re proud to share a major milestone in that journey! |

Lighting can transform a simple food photo into something truly eye-catching. We spoke with professional photographer Jo Hunt about how she works with light in different settings and why it’s worth giving lighting the time and attention it deserves. |
