Highlights of a busy springtime:

Working for sustainability ... We were delighted to see people really taking up the challenge of minimising single-use plastic.  We had already sourced biodegradable takeaway packaging including cutlery and plastic-free straws.  Now we've joined the Refill scheme which lets people know where they can refill their water containers with tap water and have introduced double stamps on our loyalty cards for people using refillable cups for tea/coffee - that's a free cuppa for every five you buy.  We're also selling reusable cups with a free coffee or tea when you buy and are constantly on the look-out for new ideas.

More outdoor seating ... In addition to our much-loved courtyard garden - often described as an oasis for busy days in Whitstable - we were delighted to have the opportunity to put some tables in the front garden of our neighbour, the Whitstable improvement Trust.  So now we have two gardens, with a choice of sun or shade all day
