No! BUT, we do sell cans of still water!

As an environmental charity, we are reducing the use of our single use plastics, starting with plastic water bottles. Cans are much more readily recycled and pose much less of a threat to wildlife. We also provide wooden cutlery with our take away meals as opposed to plastic. We hope you appreciate our move towards more environmentally friendly packaging - we hope there will be much more of this over the coming months.

Yes. All of our cafés and restaurants are wheelchair accessible, and have accessible toilet facilities.

Yes of course! Picnics are permitted on all our sites indoors and out. We kindly ask that you dispose of your rubbish in the bins provided or take it home with you if no bins are close by. We're grateful of anything you are able to spend in our cafés as all our profit is reinvested in to wildlife and nature here in the North West.
