A waste and recycling company has won praise from Michelin star restaurants for addressing noise complaints.

Cookham Waste & Recycling, a family-run business, has been working with high-end restaurants in Bray to ensure their waste is effectively managed without disturbing neighbours.

The company has been working with The Waterside Inn for over a year and recently began working with The Fat Duck and The Hind's Head.

The company also recently secured a contract with Bray’s fourth fine dining restaurant, The Crown, and began working with The Oarsman in Marlow in September.

Before working with Cookham Waste & Recycling, The Waterside Inn received two or three complaints a week from residents due to noise and disruption from large waste lorries.

The streets of Bray were disturbed by the noise of large waste lorries, as well as the sound of glass breaking as bins were emptied.

However, Cookham Waste & Recycling addressed these complaints by using smaller waste lorries that swap full bins for empty ones, rather than emptying them on site.

Founder Barry Head attributed the company's success to its ‘zero to landfill’ policy and its commitment to being 100 per cent reliable.

Mr Head said: "We never set out to provide waste services to every restaurant in Bray, but we’ve clearly got the recipe for success.

"Before we started working with The Waterside Inn, residents were enduring noisy bin collections that clogged up the streets of Bray.

"Now the village is quieter and cleaner, and happy residents make for happier businesses."

Alain Roux, chef patron of The Waterside Inn, said: "We were sceptical when Cookham Waste promised to 'change our lives’, but they have delivered exactly what they said they would do.

"We face some great challenges integrating a three-star Michelin restaurant into a very small street in a small village.

"Has Cookham Waste changed my life?

"Being the person that had to answer to our neighbours, absolutely they have."

The success at The Waterside Inn led to three more restaurants joining Cookham Waste & Recycling’s books in August.

Contracts with the three-starred Fat Duck, one-starred The Hind's Head and The Crown, mean that the company is now supporting all of Bray’s world-famous restaurants.

Marlow’s high-end eatery The Oarsman also joined Cookham Waste & Recycling in September.

Founder Barry Head has now got his sights set on Tom Kerridge’s and Atul Kochhar’s local establishments.

Mr Head said: "We’re looking forward to working with all of the amazing restaurants in Bray, and hope we can make the village cleaner, quieter and more peaceful."
