Sustainability Journey
Situated in the picturesque locale of Herefordshire, the Riverside Inn, Aymestrey, serves as a shining beacon of sustainable tourism. The establishment showcases the unspoiled and historic region's local characteristics with an exceptional commitment to environmental consciousness and sustainability. A considerable portion of the food and drinks served at the Inn is produced on-site in the kitchen garden, orchard, and small holding, thus significantly reducing food miles. Goods not produced on-site are sourced from local, small-scale, artisan producers, lending support to the local community and economy. A testament to their commitment to the environment is their use of Slow Food Ark of Taste ingredients, MSC certified fish, organic meats, and a robust variety of plant-based dishes. The wine list prominently features ethical, organic, small-scale producers, with special emphasis on lower food-mile English wines.
In addition to their eco-friendly sourcing policies, the Riverside Inn, Aymestrey also showcases laudable waste reduction initiatives. They've significantly minimized waste by reusing transport crates, composting, and banning single-use plastics. Conscious choices extend to their suppliers, like Hundred House Coffee and Nobel Isle, both renowned for their eco-friendly practices. In an endeavor to become carbon-neutral, the Riverside Inn promotes green practices like tree and hedge planting, staff car sharing, and offering free electric vehicle charging stations for guests. Moreover, they've shown a strong commitment to preserving local wildlife and ecology. The grounds boast native wildflowers, heritage fruit trees, and homemade bird boxes. In order to extend their environmental efforts, the Inn offers guests the option to make a voluntary carbon-neutral donation, which is then used to support green projects throughout Herefordshire.
