our ethos

Local & Independent, focusing on our community and our environment.

At China Blue, we craft an atmosphere dedicated to relaxation and creativity, helping you escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our inclusive space welcomes everyone, including your dogs! Committed to environmental responsibility, we actively strive to reduce our footprint by minimising waste, enhancing energy efficiency, and adopting cleaner energy sources. We forge partnerships with sustainable companies that share our values, aligning with our goals for a greener future.

Our commitment to care extends beyond our valued customers to our staff. We take pride in our culture and the experience that we work together to deliver. Our team receives continuous training and enjoys a range of benefits, fostering a supportive and positive environment that translates to our customers.

sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of our business values. We are dedicated to minimising our environmental impact by incorporating eco-friendly practices across our operations and partnering with brands that share our commitment.
‍
Promoting sustainable transportation, we have excellent public transport links, including trains and buses, and encourage eco-friendly commuting by offering bike racks for locals.
Our recycling program is integral to our business with everything that can being recycled, and regular compost pickups from the allotment society for our used coffee grinds. In early 2023, we expanded our solar panel installation to fully cover our south-facing roof. Harnessing the power of the sun across this extensive surface area allows us to generate clean energy, reducing our dependence on traditional sources and contributing to a greener, more sustainable future. These panels are generating over 9,000 kWh of power annually.
‍
While this isn't enough to fully power our 12,000 square ft building, which includes three kilns, we have recently signed a 24-month contract for 100% renewable electricity! As China Blue continues to evolve, we are consistently seeking greener ways to operate.

Our commitment to providing a welcoming environment includes a large, flat, and free car park for easy parking. We prioritise accessibility with dedicated ramps and disabled-friendly facilities, including accessible toilets.

Furthermore, we are proud to share that 50% of our staff have undergone dementia training. This initiative ensures that our team is well-equipped to provide a supportive and understanding environment for individuals with dementia and their companions. At China Blue, we are dedicated to creating an inclusive space where everyone can enjoy their experience comfortably and without barriers. If you would like to discuss any concerns you may have before you visit, please get in touch.

We take pride in being an inclusive and accessible venue for all members of the public.
