The Queens Hotel Announces Official Partnership with North Star Coffee Roasters
21st January 2025
The Queens Hotel is excited to announce its official partnership with North Star Coffee Roasters, a Leeds-based company renowned for ethically sourced, high-quality coffee. This collaboration reflects the hotel’s dedication to enhancing the experience not only for hotel guests but also for the local community. North Star’s premium coffee will be served throughout the hotel’s restaurant, bar, and lounge, which is open to the public – inviting everyone to enjoy exceptional locally roasted coffee in a welcoming environment.
The partnership was officially launched on Monday, January 20th, with a coffee handout event in City Square, supporting Leeds Mind’s Multicoloured Monday campaign. The event offered free coffee to commuters and local residents, raising awareness about mental health and encouraging open conversations to reduce stigma. Multicoloured Monday challenges the myth of “Blue Monday” and promotes the vital mental health services the charity offers.
North Star Coffee Roasters is now the official coffee supplier for The Queens Hotel. Known for their dedication to ethical sourcing and sustainable practices, North Star works directly with coffee farmers to ensure fair trade and environmental stewardship. Their award-winning coffee is roasted in small batches in Leeds, guaranteeing exceptional flavour and quality in every cup.
Alistair Campbell, General Manager of The Queens Hotel, said, “We’re excited to partner with North Star Coffee, a brand that shares our values of quality and community. This partnership not only enhances our guest experience but also helps build a vibrant hub in our lounge for locals, remote workers, business meetings, and coffee lovers. The coffee handout demonstrated the power of local partnerships, and we’re excited for what’s to come.”
Matt Andrews, from North Star Coffee Roasters, commented, “It’s been a fantastic opportunity to be part of such a positive event that brings the community together for an important cause. As a company committed to sustainability and ethical sourcing, we’re proud to partner with The Queens Hotel and Leeds Mind to support mental health awareness. This collaboration not only highlights our shared values but also reinforces our commitment to making a difference in the local community, and we’re excited to continue our work together.”
Sophie Westmoreland, Corporate and Events Fundraiser at Leeds Mind, added, “The Queens Hotel Leeds and North Star Coffee Roasters teamed up to bust the myth of so-called ‘Blue Monday’ for the commuters of Leeds. We met some lovely people and put some smiles on faces first thing on a chilly morning! We’re so grateful to everyone involved for lending their support to mental health awareness.”
