Check out our top tips below and just some of the plants that will thrive with some coffee grounds.

You can grab a bag of used coffee grounds in the entrance to our restaurant, all we ask is for a small donation to our charity of the year - Fire Fighters Charity 🚒

When life gives you lemons... we bake cake! 🍋✨

Our gluten-free lemon cake is freshly homemade by Toni-Marie and Carli, using the wonderfully tangy Tiptree Lemon Curd for that perfect balance of sweetness and zing.
