Excuse our weeds, we're feeding the bees! 🌳🌻 You'll find a hum in the air at Woodlands with bees busy feeding in our Linden trees and wildflowers.

Today is Sustainable Gastronomy Day! We do things differently when you dine here. We're committed to minimising the environmental impact of hospitality. We don't have a menu; this helps reduce food waste and we tailor-make our meals to your food likes.

Our wild flower meadows encourage bees and other pollinators which are vital to food production. All our green waste, including our tea leaves and coffee grounds are composted. Help us do our bit as custodians of this landscape; enjoy sustainable gastronomy by reserving your table for dinner! www.woodlandsatireby.co.uk #sustainablegastronomy #ruraleconomy #cumbriantourism #localproduce #artisanproducers #gastronomy #eatout #supportlocal #supporthospitality #greentourism #cumbrialife Bells Fishmongers @bellsfishmongerscarlisle @cranstons_1914 Cranstons Butcher + Maker @linskeldfieldfarm Carvetii Coffee @carvetiicoffee
