Bring your own reusable cup
While our takeaway drinks are served in compostable plant-based cups, if you buy a hot drink from our café using your own reusable cup, we'll give you 25p off your drink.

An enduring love of literature
Fanny Boscawen, Hatchlands Park's original lady of the house, loved a good book. She wrote, ‘If I ever take off the embargo which I lay upon all novels, I am lost to all other employment whatever, and do nothing till I have got through all my adventurers’ adventures, and seen them all safely provided for.’
