The Windmill’s Partnership with The Hollingbourne Meadows Trust – Making a difference one fry at a time!

    At The Windmill, we believe a pub is more than just a place to enjoy great food and drink – it’s a cornerstone of the community.

    That’s why we’re delighted to announce our new partnership with the Hollingbourne Meadows Trust, a local charity dedicated to preserving our beautiful countryside and promoting biodiversity.

    Starting in Autumn 2024, we’ve launched a simple yet impactful initiative: for every portion of our famous fish and chips sold, £1 will go directly to the Hollingbourne Meadows Trust. This means every time you enjoy a plate of crispy, golden fish and chips, you’re helping to plant new trees, restore hedgerows, and protect the wildlife that makes our meadows so special.

    A Partnership for the Environment

    The Hollingbourne Meadows Trust has been at the heart of preserving our local landscape for the past 20 years, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the beauty and benefits of nature. Their work includes creating habitats for diverse wildlife, maintaining walking paths, and planting trees that will stand for decades to come. With support from our guests, we’re proud to contribute to these vital efforts that have protected and restored land that would otherwise have turned into building developments.

     

    Ben Williams, Director of Hollingbourne Meadows Trust, shared his excitement: “The Windmill and the Hollingbourne Meadows Trust are both central to our community. Thanks to donations from The Windmill’s guests, every £1 will help us fund crucial projects like planting new trees and safeguarding wildlife. We encourage everyone to enjoy a walk through the meadows and see the difference they’re making—before or after a delicious meal at The Windmill!”

    Bartoz Pizkorz, General Manager of The Windmill, added: “Supporting Hollingbourne Meadows Trust is a natural choice for us. Their commitment to the environment aligns with our values, and we’re proud to work together to make a meaningful impact for our community.”
