Stokes Coffee Shop
"Today, Stokes remains a family company, with Robert's great grandson, Nick Peel, the current MD, and the fourth generation to take the helm of the Stokes Tea & Coffee company.
Here at Stokes, we understand that it's our people, customers and communities who have helped make us what we are today and we give back whenever we can by sponsoring local enterprises, donating to charities and giving to good causes. We also support local businesses by using the finest local produce to create our delicious dishes and treats on the menus at our cafes, and lovely products available from our online shop.
We do everything possible to make sure that every business partner, from our team in the UK and our local communities to our suppliers on the other side of the globe are treated fairly. One of the ways we do this is by purchasing coffee and tea through companies that have direct links to our farmers. We even source coffee from the most sustainable farm in Brazil! This way, we know where every penny goes including to local hospitals, schools and other services that benefit farmers and their families."
