We have made some changes – we now have bamboo straws, eco takeaway cups and compostible serviettes. More to come!

All loose sweets are in reusable jars, reused since we opened! We use paper bags to sell our loose sweets, and recycle everything possible. We are looking at alternatives to the plastic gift bags that we use. We are not replacing our current stock of plastic carrier bags.

Happy to confirm that we use wooden spoons, paper straws and even wooden sticks for folks to stir their coffees with! Looking after the local environment is very high on our list of priorities.

So far we have changed from plastic ice cream spoons, plastic lined takeaway coffee cups, plastic coffee lids, plastic takeaway knives, forks and spoons, polystyrene takeaway food containers and straws!

We have paper straws; wooden drink stirrers; reusable branded plastic glasses; use Devon contract waste (zero to landfill, recycle everything possible); get our milk (and gin) from the Dairy Shop (no plastic)!

We currently have biodegradable straws; no longert use plastic glasses; now don’t sell anything in plastics bottles other than one product; current Silver Award holders for Green tourism; recycle all plastics, aluminium, paper, cardboard, glass and food waste.

We now have environmentally friendly cups for coffee; using paper straws; ordered wooden ice cream spoons instead of plastic

Moved from plastic to paper straws; eliminated plastic stirrers for drinks; no longer using plastic glasses for outdoor use; we are also stopping selling water in plastic bottles instead offering re-usable bottles filled before play & on course.

Offer a discount on hot takeaway drinks if you bring in your own reusable cup; (we sell the cups too); we’ve stopped using plastic straws; we have switched packaging of takeaway food to easily and fully recyclable materials

Paper cups to replace disposable plastic cups at the water cooler / Refillable milk bottles from The Dairy Shop / Bars of soap rather than handwash / Recycling box in staff kitchen / Our staff are coming up with lots of ideas so there may be more to come.

We have stopped putting plastic water bottles in the rooms and now use refillable glass bottles, we recycle any plastic bottles, cardboard and papers guests leave in their rooms. We are also thinking of other ways we can cut down on our plastic usage.
