RIVERSIDE VENUE
The Hub is an exciting proposed riverside cafe development at the Old Bus Depot in Wye, Kent.
Nestled at the foot of the North Downs and the Pilgrims Way, The Hub promises to be a base for local cyclists and walkers as well as attracting new and passing customers to the benefit of existing businesses of Wye.
Stocking high-quality local, fair-trade produce and great coffee, The Hub aims to be a vibrant and valuable asset to the community, creating jobs, and a place to meet friends, with plenty of outdoor space to accommodate children, dogs and bikes in a Covid-19 safe environment.
SUSTAINABILITY
We intend to make The Hub as environmentally friendly as possible. Our concept is to recycle redundant shipping containers that will be well insulated and naturally ventilated to considerably reduce the carbon footprint of the construction and running of the buildings.
In addition, we plan to add enhanced planting to the river bank, improving the biodiversity of the area, and using green walls (shrubs and planters) to soften the long-range views from the AONB. We understand this will take a few seasons to develop but in time visitors can enjoy the local ecology along the river from the site.
