friendly products and was the first business to install an electronic waste control scale to reduce kitchen waste. It works closely with its local neighbourhood and has cemented relations with its principal charities, The Poppy Factory, Springboard and School Food Matters.


Recruitment and training The Bingham recruits employees with a luxury service pedigree, but it’s always on the lookout for individuals who share a real passion for hospitality. It mentors, develops and cross-trains its employees and, working with organisations like Springboard and University of West London, creates meaningful employment opportunities for the disadvantaged as well as undergraduates.


Case study Davide Durante, restaurant and bar manager Davide joined the Bingham in May 2013, having previously worked at some of London’s top hotel restaurants including the Bulgari hotel, the Lanesborough and the Ritz. A fanatical football lover and orchid enthusiast (with a significant personal collection), Italian- born Davide is a consummate host who has transformed the Bingham’s restaurant by doubling average cover numbers. Davide is unique in the way that he works in unison with the Bingham’s executive chef. They road-test each new dish and menu concept to gauge how food and subsequent service can optimise and enhance an overall dining experience. Davide develops and inspires his team to deliver


friendly, knowledgeable, guest-centric service. He’s also the man behind the exciting changes in the Bingham’s lounge bar menu, aligning it with that of the restaurant through a series of small taster dishes, and has enthusiastically mentored his team to pair taster dishes with any of the bar drinks (including soft drinks).
