Our Sustainability Commitments
We proudly partner with The Aspinall Foundation, a world-leading animal conservation charity who we work with on the most ambitious rewilding program in the world. Together, we have returned hundreds of captive-born animals to areas of protected wilderness and reserves in their ancestral homelands, where they belong. Our animal waste is collected by local farmers who ultimately use it for fertiliser and all of our garden waste is composted and recycled directly back into our grounds and gardens. Fresh produce for our restaurants is sourced from the Port Lympne estate (e.g. apples and pears), local farms where possible, and other British suppliers. 95% of the Port Lympne restaurant food is made by onsite chefs. Most packaging used by the cafes is either recyclable, biodegradable, commercially compostable, and/or plastic-free. The few items that are not, are being replaced with sustainable alternatives where possible.
