July's Flexi Group decided to try The Garden's morning offerings after our successful Unofficial Supper Club there recently. Our clever exam success ladies Sally and Sarah F celebrated with a couple of mocktails; namely a virgin mojito and a raspberry thyme. We commented on the accompanying plastic straws... and our smiling waiter told us they're made from plants instead! It means they can be composted. It's fantastic to see there's an eco friendly alternative to paper which serves the needs of those (like Michelle's mum) who actually need a firmer straw to drink from. In other environmentally friendly news, The Garden was the first Chippenham eatery to sign up to the Refill Scheme. Originally started in Bristol, this scheme allows customers and visitors to refill their water bottles for free at businesses showing the Refill logo. You'll find a full list of Chippenham participants here. The Refill Scheme is now expanding nationally and you can find the App which tells where they all are via the Refill website.
