"A safe and welcoming place with food at its heart"
Someone said that to us once, and we couldn't agree more. Everyone is welcome at a social eating space. Instead of opening all the time like a community cafe, we operate at public mealtimes. We focus on providing homemade food and a welcoming atmosphere. We use surplus foods and have affordable, dynamic menus that change all the time.
We all call ourselves social eating spaces but are individually unique and develop our services to cater to our local communities, often using well-loved community venues (but some of us do pop-ups, catering and other partnership-working, too).
If you...
- don't want ready-meals or take-away
- don't want to go 'into town' to eat but you don't want to cook
- hate food waste
- just enjoy a meal with other folk as part of your social life
then social eating is for you!
Social eating is a future-food practice which saves food, fuel and water and making good use of our collective resources. It's also a smart way to reach our carbon-neutrality and food waste-reduction targets.
