The CPRE have proudly presented The Wharf House with an award for the restoration of the Over Canal Basin and construction at The Wharf House, as they were greatly impressed by the thought and quality of design apparent in the project.
David Penny Commercial Director of The Wharf House and Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal Trust has expressed his delight stating "This is the second award we have been presented with this month so, for the restoration work to be recognised at the same time as our restaurants performance, together with The Canal Trust we are humbled and encouraged with the support we are now experiencing"

Extensive work has been completed on the Wharf House roof, where EvoEnergy Ltd have installed 94 photovoltaic panels. These enable us to generate our own renewable energy and so reduce consumption of energy from fossil fuels.
The Wharf House has always had a policy to be as environmentally friendly as possible, regularly composting perishables, recycling glass bottles and jars and adopting high efficiency equipment. We have recently replaced our old cooker with a more efficient induction hob cooker. However this new development of photovoltaic cells will have the most impact, dramatically decreasing our carbon emissions, another step in making the business more Green. We would like to say a big thank you to Naturesave for their contribution to this project, to the Community Sustainable Energy Programme who provided a major grant, and to the Carbon Trust for an interest free loan. This help has been very much appreciated.
