Sustainability Stories
Sustainable Venue Initiatives At Yarnfield Park Training And Conference Centre
Our menus are carbon calculated..…so you can make informed decisions about the meals you choose.
Our chefs utilise ‘Foodsteps’ recipe calculator for climate-friendly menu planning, helping us to calculate the environmental impact made by
each dish on our menu.
Local and seasonal ingredients…We prioritise sourcing local UK seasonal fruit and vegetables, and meat from the UK and Ireland.
This helps to eliminate airfreight, reduce scope 3 emissions and support UK agriculture.
Our desserts are dairy-free…creating more choice for guests with dairy allergies or sensitivities, and those opting for a plant-based diet, and helping to reduce CO2e compared to dairy.
“We held our conference at Yarnfield Park.
As a vegan movement, there’s always a worry about booking a venue for this many people, eating plant-based… but we needn’t have worried! The food was delicious, with several choices available.
The restaurant was lovely, and the staff were extremely helpful. The desserts are still being talked about on our forum! 4 plant-based desserts on one menu? .. Unheard of!
Keep it up Yarnfield, you are leading the way in conference food for Vegans at conferences!"

Our tasty tea selection is Fairtrade…Fairtrade sets standards that protect farmers and workers, guaranteeing fair prices, safe working conditions, and sustainable practices.
We supply a selection of Clipper teas who, in 1994, became the UK’s first fairtrade tea supplier.
We provide dairy-free alternatives…Alongside our tea, coffee and milk, we also offer guests Glebe Farm oat drink which is made from UK oats.
We don’t send any waste to landfil...Approximately 1/3 of our waste is used to make green energy and the rest is recycled, saving over 50 tonnes of CO2 per year.
