WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

HERE'S JUST A FEW OF THE WAYS WE TRY TO OPERATE AS SUSTAINABLY AS POSSIBLE

Our focus on making meaningful strides in our mission of practicing sustainable hospitality has solidified some key environmental-conscious commitments into our operating model. We currently:

​

​Recycle the used cooking oil from our fryers, which is turned into

high-quality biofuels for transport

​

​

Creatively engineer our menus to produce as little food waste as possible,

through the cross-use of ingredients across multiple menu items

​

​

Champion the use of local suppliers and producers where we can to reduce our

food miles and support local economies

​

​

Use a sustainable, responsibly and ethically-sourced coffee blend from a certified B-Corp

supplier who maintains strongrelationships with the farmers that produce the beans

​

​

Stock low-carbon footprint, 100% recyclable and refillable water cartons as an alternative to plastic water

bottles. Since introducing this product, we have prevented the sale of over 170,000 plastic bottles

Use 100% compostable and/or biodegradable takeaway food and drink packaging, cutlery  and condiments,

introduced in 2018, way before many others in the industry. Our purpose-mad condiment stations, with

integrated sauce pumps to remove the need for plastic sachets, communicate messaging to our customers

​

​​

 ​​COMMUNITY

Community is important to us too, we’re deeply embedded in several communities across the UK

​

​

Certain communities and areas of the country also have regional delicacies which we

try our best to cater for by including them on our menus

When we conceptualise and craft our menus we endeavour to source and collaborate with

local suppliers, some of which we’ve built strong and unique relationships with 

​

​

During the Christmas period we involve our customers and their children with the decoration of our

'Communitree'. A Christmas tree adorned with messages of what the community is thankful for 

Our 'More for your Money Mondays' scheme was introduced to ensure all of our customers are

still able to afford a visit to our Cafés, amidst the cost of living crisis.  With discounts on our

'made to order' menu items we hope to still be accessible for all 

​

​

We support and host events throughout the year at several of our Cafés for our communities, ranging

from one-off day events to month long events. We aim to be inclusive, engaging and a place for all of

our customers to come together to enjoy 

​

Some of our Cafés feature gallery walls comprising of photos taken and submitted by the

communities we serve. This 'Life Through Your Lens' scheme aims to capture the importance to

different user groups and the memories they've created in the green spaces and parks we operate in
