I have been thinking about ways in which our little business operates and I think we are doing a few environmentally sound things.

We could always do better but we are trying to get it right.

So far:

v    The pasties and pies are labelled with pastry letters so we don’t need to label the packaging.

v    We use paper bags and try to remember to ask our customers if they need a bag. So many people now carry shopping bags with them.

v    Our vegetable peelings either go to compost or chicken mash.

v    Any open bottles of left over wine go in the chef that evening not down the drain.

v    We recycle our card, tin, plastic boxes and glass waste.

v    Our local butcher supplies most of our meat, which he gets delivered from the nearest slaughter house.

v    We re-use the empty paper flour sacks to put any food waste in which then goes into our ‘food waste’ bin that the council empty each week

Things to work on:

v    Sourcing flour (that we can afford to buy) from within Europe.

v    Using more of our own veg.

v    Trying to do more local events

and lots more I’m sure…………
