Social enterprise, Well Grounded, trains people from a range of backgrounds to become baristas. We are one of their ‘academy’ sites, where candidates follow a structured development plan over five weeks. During this time, we observe their progress with a view to offering them employment. Our first student, Wing Wong, was shy at first, but soon became more confident – in both talking to customers and making coffee. Her time with us was a great start to a promising career.

Our three pillars of sustainability

People

Balancing the needs of the individual with the needs of the wider community.

Planet

Systems and processes that reduce our environmental impact.

Appoint a contract caterer - retention

Profit

Long term profitability without creating negative social or environmental issues.
