Accessibility & Sustainability at Tilly's Bunbury
At Tilly's Bunbury, we believe great hospitality is about more than serving excellent food and drink. It is about creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable, valued and included, while operating responsibly and supporting the community around us.
As a family-run independent cafe in the heart of Bunbury, we are committed to continuously improving both accessibility and sustainability as part of our everyday operations.

Continuous Improvement
Tilly's Bunbury is located within an older village property which presents some physical limitations. However, we regularly review customer feedback and invest in improvements wherever possible to ensure our café remains welcoming and accessible to all.
Sustainability
Supporting Local Suppliers
Wherever possible, we choose local and regional suppliers, helping to reduce food miles while supporting fellow independent businesses.
Our valued suppliers include:
-

-
The Good Cheese Company
-
Cheshire Ice Cream Farm
-

By sourcing locally, we help strengthen the local economy while offering customers high-quality products with a strong Cheshire connection.
Reducing Waste
We actively work to minimise waste across the business through:
-
Preparing food fresh to order
-
Careful stock management to reduce food waste
-
Using recyclable takeaway packaging where possible
-
We offer used coffee grounds to the local gardeners
-
Our coffee arrives in reusable containers
-
Recycling cardboard, glass, paper and other materials
-
Reusing and repurposing materials wherever practical
As a small independent business, we believe that many small actions can collectively make a meaningful difference.
Encouraging Sustainable Travel
Bunbury is a wonderful village to explore on foot or by bicycle, and we actively support sustainable ways to visit and enjoy the Cheshire countryside.
Tilly's is proud to sponsor Bunbury Cycle Group, helping encourage active lifestyles, healthy living and environmentally friendly travel. Co-owner Andy is an active member of the cycling group and regularly rides with fellow cyclists, promoting fitness, wellbeing and community engagement.
The café is a popular stop for local riders and visiting cycling groups, providing a welcoming place to rest, refuel and connect with others while exploring the area.
Community & Wellbeing
We are passionate about playing a positive role within our local community.
Tilly's Bunbury is more than a café; it is a place where people come together. Throughout the year we host and support a variety of community activities, including:
-
Chatty Cafe sessions to help reduce loneliness and social isolation
-
Local business networking events
-
Community talks and educational workshops
-
Support for local artists and creatives
-
Charity and fundraising initiatives
-
Community music and social events
We believe that cafés can make an important contribution to local wellbeing by creating welcoming spaces where people can connect, socialise and feel part of their community.
Looking Forward
Accessibility and sustainability are ongoing commitments rather than fixed goals. We continually review our practices, listen to customer feedback and look for opportunities to improve.
Whether through supporting local suppliers, encouraging active travel, reducing waste or creating an inclusive environment, we remain committed to making Tilly's Bunbury a welcoming, responsible and valued part of our community for years to come.
