Boisdale Launches The Hunter-Gatherer Menu

1 January - 31 March

On Wednesday 16 January 2008, Boisdale of Belgravia launched a new healthy  eating menu in partnership with Mark Thompson, Naturopath and Principal of The Light Centre in Belgravia.

As neighbours, Boisdale and The Light Centre have devised a menu that is based on Mark’s groundbreaking healthy eating course that covers six million years of human evolution, starting with the diets of our hunter-gatherer ancestors through to the onset of farming and the advent of modern food processing.

Each dish on the menu possesses ingredients that would have been part of a huntergatherer’s diet, many of which are sourced from Scotland and chosen, prepared and cooked to retain the maximum nutrition possible. On the menu, the way each dish is prepared is explained, allowing customers to learn more about their food before they eat it.

Working closely with Mark Thompson, Colin Wint, Head Chef at Boisdale of Belgravia, says: “With our carefully sourced ingredients, we believe we have come up with a menu that will appeal to our usual customers as well as those who would not normally come to Boisdale for a lighter meal. If you are not having a classic Boisdale lunch, there is now the option of a lighter and more energising menu.”
