Recycling & Waste
We aim to minimise the amount of waste we send to landfill. We have taken the following steps:
- We have dedicated bottle banks throughout the site. Glass recycling uses less energy than making new glass products, which in turn reduces the strain on raw materials and resources.
- All of our used cooking oil is collected to make greener fuel.
- Unused toilets rolls are donated to staff.
- We separate out DMR, glass and food waste from general waste and encourage our guests to recycle as much as possible.

We aim to minimise our carbon footprint. We offer incentives to guests travelling by public transport to provide free cot and highchair hire. We offset the paper used in marketing literature with a tree planting scheme.
