hydroponics and sustainability
Our story
From garden to plate
environment
We have a passion for sustainability in the hospitality sector and are ready to make changes now to impact our business and local area.
Our goal is to become less reliant on traditional supply chains, reduce food miles, wastage and ensure our customers receive more homegrown produce.
One way we wanted to focus on achieving this is by growing our produce onsite hydroponically.
Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants without using soil. Hydroponic flowers, herbs, and vegetables are planted and supplied with nutrient-rich solutions, oxygen, and water.
We are really excited to be starting this project for the pub and finding our solution to becoming net zero.
Feel free to take a look around when you visit us, just ask one of our friendly team for a tour!

The 160sqm polytunnel is located next to our car park and constructed using locally sourced equipment and materials. Limiting the amount of single use plastic is a vitally important part of becoming carbon neutral for us. Hydroponic growing supports with this as we are reducing the single use packaging being delivered to our site and inevitably thrown away.
In the UK it is estimated that five million tonnes of plastic is used every year, nearly half of which is packaging!
