How do you get a table … and get ethical food?

It all depends who you say you are.
  
  


Bono

Strada: Is any of your food from farmers' markets? Bono likes to eat local produce. 'We have things coming from Italy.' That's not very environmentally friendly. Is it organic? 'I'll find out.' They don't call back.

Pizza Hut: Do you serve organic food? Laughs. 'Not at all.' Or food from local suppliers? 'No.' Would you be able to order some for Bono? 'No. We do weekly orders. They're always the same.' Could you make an exception? 'No sorry. We can't.'

Garfunkel's: 'Most of our food is frozen.' Is it genetically modified? 'It doesn't say on the packets.' Bono needs to know if it's eco friendly. 'U2's Bono?' Yes. 'He should call head office.'

David Miliband

Strada: Is your food from a local supplier? 'The seafood is. And the chicken.' Is it organic? David Miliband's very fussy about the environment. 'It's not.' Can he order a meal made up of locally sourced, organic produce? They ring back and say no.

Pizza Hut: 'We don't do organic food.' What about from local suppliers, say hand-reared chickens? 'We have chicken pieces.' Where do they come from? 'Er, a supplier.' Can you order organic ones? 'We could arrange something.'

Garfunkel's: Do you serve organic food? Laughs. 'No, sorry.' David needs to make sure you're environmentally friendly. 'We are.' Great. Could you order him organic food from a local supplier? 'Erm, I'm not sure about that.'

Kate Moss

Strada: Kate only eats organic food. Can you order her some? 'I'll put you on to the head chef ...' 'We don't usually do something like this, but I'll make an exception. Let me know what she would like. I'll buy it personally. A nice chicken breast perhaps?'

Pizza Hut: Do you have any organic food? 'I'll find out ... No we don't.' Kate Moss can only eat organic. Can you order her some? 'Typical celeb. I'll find out and call you back.' They ring back 30 minutes later: 'So sorry but no.'

Garfunkel's: Do you have organic food? It's for Kate Moss. 'We buy from suppliers. I'd need to check.' Can you find out, please? 'Not now. I'm very busy.' But it's for Kate Moss. 'I'm trying to run a restaurant. Call later.'
