Our Ethos
Lussmanns is founded on the fundamental belief that it’s possible to be ethical and profitable.
What we’re trying to do is make sustainable dining accessible to everyone – providing a ‘classy but classless’, locals-driven alternative that consistently delivers great
food, service and value to diners. Our aim is to promote sustainability and in the words of the Independent on Sunday, to be ‘ethical, delicious and preach-free’.
Lussmanns are founding members of the Sustainable Restaurant Association, winners of the Food Made Good Awards 2018 ‘Source Fish Responsibly’ and now the only restaurant group currently in the UK to be completely MSC-friendly.
