When delivering orders we work with the brilliant Manchester-based company, Xen Couriers, who mainly use cycle-trailers (or cargo bikes) as their transport method.
Our amazing staff all walk or use public transport to get to our shop (when not working remotely).
We use ethically sourced and seasonal produce from wonderful local suppliers in our dishes when possible. These include the amazing La Chouquette in Didsbury for our bread and pastries, Silver Apple Bakery in Stockport supply us with their beautiful cakes, our incredible meat is delivered by The Unsworth brothers in Salford, and most of our veggies are grown by the Halman family at Woodland Farm (Cheshire). Choosing these amazing local companies reduces transportation and puts money back into our local economy.
Our suppliers all ensure that their produce has been obtained by livestock owners abiding by animal welfare practices.
Any leftover food from our work in the shop is dropped off each day at the UCKG HelpCentre (across the road from us on Oxford Street). Also, when event catering we try and distribute any leftovers as much as possible to local food banks or even our catering staff!
We are continuously reducing the amount of paper used; for example, all invoicing is electronic, and our bills are also sent via email.
