Food and drink
The delicious food we serve in our cafés reflects the stories we tell in our exhibits. Our food is responsibly sourced, fairly traded, single-source, seasonal and/or local and freshly made, often in front of your eyes.
We cater for vegetarians, vegans, meat-eaters, gluten-free diets, and those with other dietary requirements. Please tell a member of staff if you have particular dietary requirements and they'll do their best to help you.

The future of food
At the Eden Project we are striving to practically demonstrate what the future of food could look like. This includes growing food for our restaurants in our geothermally-heated plant nursery metres away from where we serve our customers, and how we recycle our water and food waste, which is part of our journey towards becoming climate positive.
