Community


An important aspect of the Black Buoy’s mission is to support the local community. Most of our staff are local people and we aim to use local suppliers for food, drinks and services. We take care to be good neighbours and will do our best to respond positively to any suggestions or issues that may arise in the vicinity of the pub.

We regularly host events in aid of local causes and organisations and we allocate an annual fund towards sponsorship.
