So, we're almost on the final approach to Christmas. You ready? Some of us (like me) have pretty much got it all sorted. Chaps, you've got a week to chill out before you should even think about the shopping. Here's a reminder of our opening hours: we recommend avoiding the Economy delivery … [Read more...] about Last minute shopping?
Cups and Glasses
Christmas Opening Hours
Christmas is fast approaching, make sure you don't run out of food packaging and glasses in the final run up to the festive period. It's worth considering that our suppliers will close down for Christmas too, so if you have a big order to place, sooner is always better than later! Our primary … [Read more...] about Christmas Opening Hours
The Super-Sub
We're 12 games into the 2019/20 Premier League season, and while every club is hopeful of a decent cup run on the pitch and some silverware in May, it's good to see that the big teams are also starting to flex their green credentials too. Let's face it, these clubs are globally recognised brands in … [Read more...] about The Super-Sub
Supplier Packaging
"Why don't you use Biodegradable Packaging and bubble wrap when you send your orders out?" We're getting there. Good to see the suppliers are following suit as well - I spotted this little sticker on one of our suppliers boxes last week. This is how our lovely Reusable Plastic Glasses and … [Read more...] about Supplier Packaging
Match winning wine glasses
I was fortunate enough to bag a ticket to Wimbledon this year, and with the weather set fair, it was time to take full advantage of the allowance of a bottle of wine per person. (I'm never going to pass this up) We armed ourselves with a Polycarbonate Wine Glass each and headed for Henman Hill to … [Read more...] about Match winning wine glasses
Movin’ on up
I've been stressing for a week or so, watching the poor plants recover from their cramped conditions (cruelty to a salad leaf, I know) Despite my gung ho approach, it's all doing alright. How on earth, I don't know. With a little assistance from some Looped Skewers, everything is headed in an … [Read more...] about Movin’ on up
You Can’t Beat a Classic Prawn Cocktail
Some things in life will always be cool - Walkmans, Hi-tops, cars you wanted when you were 12, and when it comes to food - a well constructed Prawn Cocktail. It's a simple starter that can be made ahead of time, and as long as you get the pink sauce right, it tastes great. This dish dates back to … [Read more...] about You Can’t Beat a Classic Prawn Cocktail
Do you sell biodegradable glasses…?
Technically... yes. But you might want to think before going for glasses that on the outside look like the most Eco-friendly option for your needs. I read a report recently on the number of local councils that simply don't have the specialist recycling / industrial composters required to correctly … [Read more...] about Do you sell biodegradable glasses…?
They live, and I learnt…
A month into my "seeds in our biodegradable packaging" experiment, I am delighted to say that I've created edible life. It actually works! 3 weeks in, and here is the evidence. I'm mildly shocked that anything has grown at all and also surprised at just how well our Biodegradable Coffee Cups and … [Read more...] about They live, and I learnt…
Home grown is best!
March is not typical salad growing season in the Uk. Over the past year or so, there has been a tangible shift towards taking care of the planet we all call home, whether it concerns single use plastics, disposable coffee cups or food miles. I want to do my little bit too. As a self confessed … [Read more...] about Home grown is best!
