Eating and drinking sustainably

Every time you present a reusable cup when you order a hot drink at one of the cafés, tea rooms or kiosks*, we'll give you 25p off as a thank you for helping the environment by reducing the number of disposable cups used. This promotion replaces the previous hot drinks loyalty card scheme.
