The Intercontinental Park Lane chooses Housewater
From opulent seafood in South Shields to five star London. The Intercontinental Park Lane has chosen Housewater in its drive for better ecology. With conferencing facilities catering for 1,000 people and 400 bedrooms to consider the transition from traditional bottled water to Housewater was a significant one and it is paying dividends both financially and ecologically as we move towards the summer months.
Colmans Seafood Temple in South Shields
Good luck for the eagerly anticipated opening of the spectacular Colmans Seafood Temple in South Shields. Originally in the 1920’s it was the bandstand which had fallen into disrepair, Colmans have rescued and completed a total transformation of the iconic building into a 21st century seafood restaurant with a cocktail and oyster bar and takeaway. Using only wild fish from sustainable fishing grounds and turning leftover oil into bio fuel, Colmans choice to use Housewater is the ideal partnership.

Housewater at Hixter
We are delighted to provide the water offering at Hixter, the latest project of Mark Hix the celebrated chef, restauranteur, food writer and modern art lover. Located in London’s Devonshire Square. It follows a similar concept to Mark’s Tramshed in Shoreditch and now open for city diners.
Hix Hirst & Housewater
Back in the summer of 2012 Mark Hix chose Housewater to install their water system when he opened the Tramshed in Shoreditch. The superb industrial heritage space features the spectacular cock & bull installation by Damian Hirst. The Tramshed fast became a “must visit location” with it’s successful stripped down steak and chicken menu, served by friendly staff in a relaxed atmosphere.
Mark decided to offer “bottomless still or sparkling water” at a nominal cost per head. This satisfies his eco credentials and provides a local charity with donations. The drinks list explains the concept as follows:- Housewater has been created to provide an alternative to bottled water, which may have travelled many thousands of miles, generating a significant carbon footprint en route to your table. Housewater is an eco-friendly, sustainable water system providing freshly filtered, chilled & sparkling water. We serve bottomless in jugs, bottles or carafes that are reusable to support our ecological policies. Every time you buy Housewater we will make a donation to Art Against Knives, a charity that aims to provide a creative output for East London youth as an alternative to violent gang culture.
Hix Hix hooray for Housewater
We are off to the seaside. A few weeks after our installation in Shoreditch Mark Hix asked Housewater to provide a system at the delightfully positioned Hix Oyster & Fish House in lovely Lyme Regis. The constantly popular restaurant overlooks the harbour known as the Cobb and the sea beyond Mark’s chosen charity here is not surprisingly, the RNLI.

Housewater location awarded Gold Level by the Green Tourism Business Scheme
The Green House Hotel is the only hotel in Bournemouth to be awarded the highest gold level by the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) for its outstanding performance as a sustainable tourism business.
The leading sustainable tourism certification scheme in the UK, GTBS, assesses businesses against a demanding and diverse set of criteria, from energy and water efficiency to waste management and biodiversity. A qualified assessor, who visited the hotel in October, scored the business highly across all categories.
The audit report commends the Green House Hotel for demonstrating a great commitment and staff awareness to being green and for its outstanding progress in
energy and water management and dedication to purchasing from local suppliers, wherever possible. The luxury four star hotel’s commitment to green practices included from the outset a sustainable HOUSEWATER system which provides eco-friendly still and sparkling water instead of traditional bottled waters, therefore eliminating “water miles”.
Commenting on the award, general manager Olivia O’Sullivan said: “We are thrilled to be recognized by the Green Tourism for our dedication to sustainability.
It is true that in this current climate it would be easier, financially, to relax our green practices but quite the contrary. As well as continuing to maintain our high green standards, we are looking into investing and introducing new practices to further consolidate our green credentials.”
By installing a HOUSEWATER, system significant savings can be made whilst still maintaining your eco credentials.

Housewater locations receive 5 star reviews
Both restaurants at East London’s most impressive boutique hotel the Town Hall Hotel in Patriot Square Bethnal Green have been given 5 star reviews by Time Out London recently. Michelin starred Viajante and its baby brother Corner Room impressed the critics with innovative contemporary style of chef Nuno Mendez. These are extracts from the reviews:-
VIAJANTE “The hottest table in town a year or so ago, Bethnal Green’s Viajante remains a fun destination for style-conscious gastronauts. Nuno Mendes’s cooking is creative and forward-looking, yet firmly rooted in tradition and peasant foodways (he worked on the family’s farm in Portugal). His native cuisine plays a part, but Japanese, Thai and South American flavours are just as likely to appear, as do molecular gastronomy ideas.”
CORNER ROOM “Eating food by Nuno Mendes (whose first restaurant, Viajante, is also in this boutique Bethnal Green hotel) is an adventure. As any hobbit will tell you, adventures aren’t for everyone – but we find it fascinating”.
“No bookings are taken, so you’ll probably wait for a table, and there’s a 90-minute maximum stay – not enforced for our early week visit, even though the quietly arty, first-floor corner space was full by 9pm. Later diners began to experience delays, doubtless because of the amount of hands-on preparation required”. HOUSEWATER are proud to have supplied stylish on site still and sparkling, eco-friendly, water systems throughout the, award winning Town Hall Hotel and restaurants since opening.
