No plastic bags used as all food for eating in the café.
Water bottles are sold but the rest of the drinks are in cans they also have the cans of water for sale.
Swapped to paper and Vegware straws. Hoping to source wider straws for smoothies and bamboo straws to sell.
Most of the food is to eat in the café. If people want to take a piece of cake they use a napkin.
No single use cutlery is used only proper cutlery for all customers.
All sauces are refilled from a bigger bottle.
Happy to fill up customers water bottles and be part of 'Refill Devon' scheme
All cardboard is recycled

Using up old coffee cup stock which were left in the café which may take a while as they rarely do takeaway.

“It is important for us to do our bit for the environment by eradicating the single use plastic from the business. The fact that the café is located on the beach means we do highlight the fact to our customers the importance of what we and the village are trying to achieve in terms of eradicating the vast majority of single use plastics forever.”
