We have been doing "green" things ever since we opened in 2005 and our efforts have been recognised in the PubChef Awards which named us as The Green Initiative Pub of 2009. We believe that all businesses have a duty to do whatever they reasonably can to ensure that their impact on the environment is minimised. These are some of the ways we try to reduce our environmental impact.
