Borrow Cup Scheme

As part of our commitment to reducing our use of disposable drinks cups, the Mitchell Café is now participating in the Borrow Cup scheme. For a £1 deposit, customers are served their drinks in a reusable Borrow Cup, this cup can then be returned to the café or another participating venue where the £1 deposit will be returned.
