SUSTAINABILITY
It is our long term goal to become as environmentally friendly as possible, this will forever remain a work in progress but huge leaps were made during our 2019-21 refurbishment. From more efficient cellar equipment to the latest kitchen appliances, replacing Gas with the latest induction technology as well as computer managed ovens we estimate we have reduced our carbon outlay dramatically compared to before our refurbishment. All lighting uses highly efficient LED technology, new devices such as hand dryers use high pressure cool air in place of heated air which produce the same results. All toilet facilities including taps & urinals are now sensor driven lowering our water usage by an estimated 30% in 2022 compared to pre 2019. On a raw basic level we have also shifted towards recycled napkins and all items such as straws are now biodegradable paper based as opposed to plastic products often found in the industry.
Part of the way we can reduce our footprint is to buy local, which is why all our suppliers are based within a 20 mile radius of the pub, this means it is both fresh and cost effective because it doesn't have to travel as far which lowers our suppliers footprint as well.
Food waste is a particular issue we feel we can stand tall on and proudly say we do our best. Everything here is freshly made in small batches using fresh raw ingredients which we get delivered weekly, our chefs produce enough food for a day or two at the most, this means the possibility of food being thrown away is dramatically reduced. Indeed by 2027 we estimate given our current trend that we will have reduced our food waste by near 50% due to food management, menu design & stock procurement. Any food waste that must be processed is done directly in partnership with Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Waste Services.
