Levy Restaurants UK “plaices” sustainable fish at its core
Levy Restaurants UK, the sports, leisure and hospitality catering specialists, has signed up to the Sustainable Cities Fish Pledge, hook line and sinker.
The company is making a commitment to buy, serve and promote only sustainable fish at all of its venues across the UK, from Hever Castle in Kent to the SECC Hydro in Glasgow.
By signing the Sustainable Fish Cities pledge Levy Restaurants has promised to “reel in” any poor practice and only buy sustainable seafood, to protect precious marine environments and fish stocks, supporting good fishing livelihoods.
