 Our Sustainability

  • The business works hard to recycle as much as possible, whether that is separating materials for separate waste disposal, or re-utilising materials during the refurbishment phases of the business’s development. When sourcing products it is important to us that we limit the amount of packaging which will be used, and whether that packaging is ultimately recyclable.

  • Our raw fruit and vegetable waste, and coffee grounds and tea leaves are put into compost for use on our gardens, both in the Model Village, and our vegetable beds

  • We have established growing beds here at The Old New Inn, and grow most of our own herbs, as well as tomatoes, salad leaves, radishes, cucumber, peppers, chillies, potatoes, carrots, kale, onions, asparagus, and rhubarb. In 2023 we have partnered with our chosen charity Headspace, who have their own allotment, utilized by the youngsters they support helping their mental wellbeing, and, working with our chefs, and Veronika, our Head Gardener, this facility will enable us to grow courgettes, parsnips, red cabbage, leeks, and much more to support our busy restaurant.

  • When choosing products for the business, wherever possible we buy products which are either Fairtrade, or have an ethical business operation. Our toiletries are all non-animal tested, have minimal impact on our water systems and use recycled or recyclable packaging.

    Our cleaning products are chosen for their limited environmental impact, and our loo rolls are made from completely recycled paper.

  • Our aim is to keep our ‘food miles’ as low as possible, our eggs come from Cacklebean Farm in Stow-on-the-Wold, our sourdough comes from Mark’s Bakery in Chipping Norton, our Hawkstone Cider comes from a mile away, fruit juices from Cheltenham, and our gelato comes from Cirencester, (Cow to cone in a day!). Gin and whisky comes from Cotswold Distillery in Shipston-on-Stour.

    Where we cannot limit the food miles we try and make ethical decisions, so our tea comes from the lovely Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall, and our coffee comes from a single farm in Kenya, thanks to the wonderful people at Paddy and Scott’s in Suffolk.
