We understand that placing sustainability at the heart of what we do provides long-term benefits for human health and wellbeing.

    Our sustainability considerations

    • Seasonal menu options, including food mileage transparency.
    • Sandwiches, salads & cakes made to order on-site (rather than in advance).

    • No additional charges for non-dairy alternatives.
    • Food waste reduction and recycling programme with Paper Round and local food banks.
    • Reduced use of disposables with ‘Bring your own cup’ scheme.
