Ethos
Respect for the environment
Offering a vegetarian menu reduces the use of livestock, one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gases
We use organic produce where possible because it’s better for the soil
Locally sourced produce reduces carbon footprint
We avoid products with palm oil
Cling film is kept to an absolute minimum
Take away boxes and serviettes are compostable
Any plastic that is used is reusable (such as table cloths)
We use anti-bacterial spray and washing up liquids which use only natural ingredients and the containers are refilled from SESI
We try to buy vegetables loose, avoiding unnecessary packaging
