Edible cups, bowls and plates

Refillable in Bath is offering an amazing sustainable solution in the form of takeaway cups, bowls and plates that have the added benefit of being delicious.

These edible takeaway containers are a great substitution for the standard recyclable paper cups. You can use them for any food item where you’d use takeaway containers –but the difference is that you can eat them. Fully biodegradable and vegan they are made of bran wheat and eating them means you will be helping to reduce waste from recyclable containers.

The cups will hold a hot or cold drink for up to 40 min and the plates and bowls up to 1 hour. The Edibles, as Refillable calls them, are a great addition to any kid’s party, or adult party too, as they make such an interesting topic of conversation.

Take three new food and drink venues

Bottomless Brunch Bath has welcomed three new food and drink outlets to the city.

A lazy day brunch is always one to look forward to and The Pieminister Bottomless Brunch is back every Saturday (and bank holiday Sundays) from 8 April–29 July.

There are two sittings to choose from: 12.30pm or 3pm, so it’s wise to plan the one that will suit you best and book it in. Then you’ll have an hour and a half to enjoy a brunch pie meal with bottomless drinks including any cocktails from the menu, draught beers from Freedom Brewery, cider, prosecco, or the classic brunch staple: mimosa. All for just £29 per person.

Craft beer and bottle shop Grog showcases the best breweries and distillers from across the south west. Located at 16 Margaret’s Buildings, the offerings include a range of carefully selected rum, vodka and other spirits alongside local and guest craft beers, real ales, Belgian beers and curated ciders.
