What we do

Coffee

We proudly support local business and partner with local independents from around the communities in which we operate wherever we can. Our hand selected coffee roasters and tea merchants are 100% super passionate and always focused on flavour and quality.

 

As a responsible independent catering company, we care as much about where the beans are sourced from and how the growers are treated as we do about the quality of our artisan coffee. We therefore need to know that every drop makes its way to the UK sustainably. Our carefully curated list is constantly evolving as we identify new ethical and sustainable suppliers to work with, including:

Old Spike Roastery (London)
The UK’s first social enterprise specialty coffee roastery. As a social enterprise, Old Spike’s primary mission is to help reduce homelessness in the UK through training and employment within speciality coffee. Old Spike have also made a commitment to plant a tree for every bag of coffee that we buy through their partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project.

 

 

 

The Milk Shed Coffee Roasters (East Sussex)
The Milk Shed roastery was once a dairy serving Brighton’s Royal Pavilion back in the 1800’s. Today, it is a centre of coffee roasting excellence, sourcing incredible quality green coffee beans from social enterprise Raw Material who have sustainable, fair trade, direct relationships with the growers. The Milk Shed donates a minimum of 1% of their gross sales to help environmental non-profits, as well as being committed to fair trade, direct relationships with producers. All coffee packaging is certified CO2-neutral and 100% plastic free. Their carbon neutral packaging also bit for the planet whilst still roasting great tasting coffee.

Crude Coffee Roasters (Suffolk)
At Crude in Bury St Edmunds, they respect the love and care given to coffee from the farm to the cup, which is why they work directly with farmers to ensure sustainable coffee beans with natural ingredients, no added sugar, and no impurities – delivering flavour in its purest, crudest form.

 

Edge Coffee Roasters (West Sussex)
The Edgcumbe family has been roasting award-winning coffee and blending tea since 1981. They only use speciality coffee beans (i.e. the top 5% of the world’s beans) that are ethically sourced and roasted fresh to order in their Dutch Barn located in Arundel. The Edgcumbes team works with local organisation, Aldingbourne Trust, who support people with learning disabilities and autism and help them to reach their potential.

 

It is then up to us to ensure our team of baristas are well trained and have the knowledge and confidence to create coffee for champions, which we do as part of the Seasoned Academy learning and development programme. We also engage with our team so that, instead of just throwing our used coffee grounds away, we collect them, package them and give them to our customers to take home to use as fertiliser on their compost – a great example of our commitment to waste management where we use waste to generate energy.
