Our energy sources

We’re completely open about where we get ours from and try to source as much as we can from renewable, ethical sources. All our gas is bought from the UK grid, most of which still comes from the North Sea. The rest is from Norway, continental Europe and further afield. Some of our electricity comes from the national grid, but we use a lot from renewable resources such as wind, solar, tidal, hydropower, wave and many others.
