Green Meetings Package
Discover our new Green Meetings Package, with low-carbon menus and responsibly sourced refreshments that are good for you and the planet.
What’s included?
- Room hire (all spaces included)
- LCD projector and screen
- High-speed Wi-Fi
- Unlimited tea, coffee and water
- Carbon A-rated snacks and lunch
You’ll find refillable glass bottles with filtered water in meeting rooms, but no branded notepads, pens or flip charts, because we’re determined to reduce waste (although of course we’ll provide stationery on demand if you need it). We’d also encourage you and your delegates to travel responsibly. We’re an easy eight-minute walk from University Station and we have several electric vehicle charging points on site.
Serving up sustainability
Every dish on our menu is carbon A-rated and labelled so you can easily identify the dishes with the lightest footprint.
As part of the package, you can sip on responsibly sourced Paddy & Scott’s coffee and Birchall tea through the day.
Paddy & Scott’s is a small UK-based business that shares its profits with the families and communities that grow its coffee. All coffee is packaged in aluminium-free PET recyclable material and shipped carbon-free.
All Birchall tea is Fairtrade or Rainforest Alliance accredited and 100% carbon neutral. What’s more, Birchall tea bags and packaging is plant-based, so you can enjoy a brew without contributing to landfill.

CO2e – Carbon dioxide equivalent
What’s a carbon A-rated dish?
Just look out for the CO2e – or carbon dioxide equivalent – against each menu item. The average UK meal creates 1.7kg CO2e in emissions: every dish on our menu has a CO2e of less than 0.5kg.
