Tell restaurants about the Sustainable Restaurant Association
Diners, we need your help signing up Restaurant Members. Let them know what the Sustainable Restaurant Association is all about and how we can help them. These could include restaurants near you, restaurants you love to eat out at and feel could benefit from our expert advice and restaurants you feel could do with a little push to start taking sustainability more seriously.
Simply download and print our “Friends of the SRA” PDF postcard (you'll need double sided printing functionality or print the first page, reinsert and print the second), and hand it to restaurants when you’re eating out or passing by. Leave the postcard with your tip, hand it to service staff or insist it goes to the manager. We'll also be handing out ready printed postcards at event throughout the year - come down and see us, take a few and share them with your friends. It’s amazing what a little purchasing power can do!
