The Greenhouse Restaurant - Volunteering.

The Greenhouse is a registered charity that promotes sustainability. We encourage people to make sustainable lifestyle choices. Our biggest resource is our building itself. Located on Bethel Street, between the Forum and City Hall, we have lovingly restored and reconditioned an old Victorian building to meet the energy demands of this century. Key features include an array of solar panels, a variety of natural materials for insulation and extensive rainwater harvesting.
Within the building you will find a fair trade and organic shop and café. The shop sells a wide range of ethical produce, from greetings cards printed on recycled paper, to organic and vegan wine; from a range of fair trade chocolate to environmentally friendly cleaning products. You are welcome to pop in and explore.
When you do, take time to enjoy some fairtrade tea and our organic, home made cakes. Or between 12 and 4pm, you can treat yourself to one of our exceptional value lunches, all made using organic produce, sourced from local suppliers wherever possible. If it’s a sunny day, you can sit outside in our quiet courtyard. At quiet times, you are welcome to bring some work, as our restful atmosphere can aid study.
If you are a keen reader, you’ll be interested to know that we have second hand book sales upstairs on Fridays and Saturdays. Thousands of donated books cover a wide range of subjects. All are reasonably priced, and all money goes towards The Greenhouse Trust – and it’s much better for the environment (and cheaper!) to recycle old books than buy new!
The Greenhouse is run mainly by volunteers, and we are always looking for help in our café. Shifts are divided into morning and afternoon stints, and café volunteers work under the close supervision of two paid members of staff to help prepare and serve organic food, serve customers, make drinks, wash up and maintain a clean kitchen. If you would like to volunteer in our café, please ask to speak to Tom or Penny. We are often looking for help in our shop, too. The shop volunteer works either morning or afternoon shifts in this more tranquil environment, serving customers, operating the till, pricing stock and cleaning and replenishing shelves. If you would like to volunteer in the shop, then speak to Maddie.
The Greenhouse is a unique and friendly place, and it is open between 10am and 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday.
