ECO-FRIENDLY TOKEN SYSTEM
In a bid to reduce our impact on the environment - we are pleased to introduce our new 'Ocean Tokens' which are manufactured using old fishing nets from the sea. These nets are ground down into raw plastic and used to manufacture our tokens - giving the nets a new lease of life!
Purchases at this event may only be made using these tokens which should be purchased in advance of ordering.
SOUVENIR CUP
We will be serving our drinks in a special RWBRFC souvenir cup which you can obtain for 1 Token deposit. At the end of day you can reclaim your deposit by handing the cup back, or simply take it home!
