Brew -
We are really pleased to be serving coffee from Red Bank Coffee Roasters of Coniston. A local company with a real passion for producing crazy good coffee, and for sourcing their beans ethically and minimising wastage.
We serve a small selection of teas from Brew Tea Co, who are serious about producing awesome tea and about doing business honestly. They’re a certified B Corp and their bags are 100% biodegradable (though it will be all about the loose leaf experience for our eat-in customers!).
Our milk is sourced from Stephenson's Dairy of Morecambe who are proud to guarantee the free range provenance of all their milk and dairy products. Cows are grazed outside for at least half the year, and farmer's are paid a fair price for their produce.
