OUR FUTURE
Here at Toby, we are always looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of our restaurants. We're making small changes every-day, to make a long-lasting impact on the planet.
Here’s how our parent company, Mitchells & Butlers, is doing its bit to help:
Net Zero emissions by 2040
Zero operational waste to landfill by 2030
50% reduction in food waste by 2030
We are determined to put the same level of passion and care into these goals as we do into every single ruffled roastie.
Printing is an essential aspect of running a business in hospitality, whether it be our range of menus, posters or simply office paper. We understand the effect that printing can have on the environment, that’s why we have partnered with ITG to make sure we consider ever aspect of the supply chain, to limit our impact on the environment. We are pleased to confirm that:
Every printer within our supply chain is ISO 14001 certified, minimising their environmental impact
We have adopted new stock packaging initiatives to save warehouse space and cut the amount of packaging we use
We’re working with leading surplus food app, Too Good To Go, to fight good food going to waste. As of 2024, we have saved 3000 tonnes of CO₂e – with over 1.2 million Magic Bags saved. This is the equivalent of 3750 flights from London to New York!
Over a third of all food is wasted globally. To help combat this we, All Toby Carvery Restaurants across the UK are proudly partnered with Too Good To Go, allowing you to save your favourite food from going to waste by rescuing ‘Surprise Bags’ of Toby Carvery food on the Too Good To Go app!
We are very proud to be partnered with Social Bite, an amazing charity with a mission to end homelessness by providing homes, jobs, food and support to empower people to transform their lives the UK’s leading children’s charity. You can be part of this movement of kindness simply by asking a team member to add a donation to your bill when you visit Toby Carvery. We have ambitious plans to help Social Bite increase their impact!
We are working hard to reduce the amount of packaging we use and source sustainable options in our delivery and takeaway packaging. For takeaway and Too Good To Go orders, we encourage guests to bring along their own packaging and takeaway bags.
Coated boards (such as our food pots, lids, and cups)
These can still be captured for dry mixed recycling, if free from food waste. Minimising contamination to board recycling is key in maintaining the quality of paper fibres.
Plastics (such as food containers)
Where rigid plastics are used, we have selected materials that are recyclable or have high levels of recycled content. Pots, Tubs, and Trays are currently accepted in kerbside recycling collections by 85% of local authorities.
