Refreshments
Refreshments are located on the first floor of Nightingale House & Swallow House.
If you’ve booked an all-inclusive meeting, conference or event with us you have unlimited access to our refreshment areas where you’ll find:
Hydration Stations – We believe in zero waste. To minimise our kitchen waste, we use fruit and vegetable peelings to flavour our refillable water.
Hot drinks – Our teas and coffees come from responsible suppliers. Our Chocolate is Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified. All our milk is Red Tractor Assured.
Lunch
Lunch will be served as agreed with your Event Manager.
We’re rolling out ‘Meetings for Change’ across the catering at the meetings, conferences and events we host. You can expect that 80% of ingredients are to be British grown, our menus are plant-forward, with a focus on only seasonal fruit and vegetables.
We’re working with responsible and fair-trade suppliers. We believe in zero waste and in line with our climate promise, so please tuck in, but only take what you need. It’s better for you, but better for the planet too.
Health & Safety
Your Event Manager will make you aware of any planned fire alarms or evacuations for each day you are with us along with running through your nearest exits.
Please note, we test our fire alarm every Tuesday between 14:00 – 14:30. You will hear the alarm sound for a few seconds once and then again straight after in two short bursts. Please continue your day as usual unless you hear the alarm sound permanently.
In the event of a fire alarm, please leave your room immediately and follow the signs to your nearest exit. Do not stop to collect belongings. Our team will meet you at the fire assembly point located outside of Swallow House by our flags.
Walking Routes:
Taking regular breaks thought-out the day makes everyone more energized and engaged. Please feel free to explore to stretch your legs in our furnished courtyard or take a very short stroll into leafy Kents Hill Park, operated by The Parks Trust Milton Keynes.
