• We have removed all straws & stirrers & switched from plastic condiment bottles to reusable, lidded glass jars, cutting 10,000+ items of plastic a year from our operation.

• We stock Two Farmers crisps, the UK’s FIRST 100% compostable & plastic free crisp brand! Not only is all of their packaging plastic free & compostable, but they use their own award winning British potatoes and renewable energy which they generate on their farm in Herefordshire.
• We buy all our loose bar snacks in bulk, resulting in less packaging used overall.
• To replace the mini portions of butter that are wrapped in foil, our chefs now cut cubes of butter for our customers.
• We proactively engage with suppliers and encourage them to review their packaging to make it as sustainable as possible.

• To reduce paper waste, we have introduced QR codes to view our food & drink menus electronically. With your help, we aim to reduce the use of paper menus by at least 50% over the next 12 months.
• To replace our paper napkins, we have brought in linen napkins that can be washed (in our very own laundry room) and re-used.
• We have changed our merchant provider to a system that no longer requires us to print till receipts or credit card receipts.
• We have introduced digital business cards that can be accessed through QR codes.

• Our food waste initiatives range from offering ‘Little Tummies’ dishes for those with a smaller appetite to doggy bags for leftovers to be taken home.
• After a recent food waste trial, we found that burger buns contributed the most to our food waste. We introduced a full bun, ½ bun and no bun option with our burgers, offering to donate to charity for each bunless or half bun burger ordered. Customers who prefer less bread are happy, we have cut our food waste AND are contributing more funds to our nominated charity.
• We separate our food waste which is then collected and made into agricultural fertiliser or animal feed, so nothing goes to landfill.
• Our chef team are focused on minimising waste in the preparation of food. For example, vegetable peelings are used to create the most flavoursome base for our amazing gravy!
• Each pub also uses a compost bin which provides valuable compost for our kitchen gardens.
