Q&A with Jeremy, Ops Director
Jeremy is the man behind making the menu change a success, utilising exciting new recipes and suppliers. He works in tandem with the kitchen team to come up with fresh flavours that cater for all dietary requirements.
How many new items have you added to the menu this season?
20! I think that’s more than we’ve ever done, and I’m really looking forward to our clients tasting what we’ve come up with.
What’s your favourite new item?
The Beetroot & Quinoa Bites with Houmous
What’s your process for discovering new items for each menu?
We keep an eye on food trends and engage with our suppliers to see what’s new. Once we’ve got some ideas, we test and tweak recipes a few times with the team. Then we’ll hold a tasting day where everyone scores each dish - if it gets top marks, it makes the menu. If not, it’s back to the drawing board!
What ingredients are you making the most of at Eden this season?
Blackberries, the season has just finished so we've managed get them frozen down ready to use throughout our winter menu.
What else has been going on in operations?
We’ve made some carbon-conscious swaps to some recipes, like switching lamb for chicken and dairy cream for plant-based alternatives. The drop in emissions is huge, and it’s all part of our ongoing journey towards net zero.
