Nottingham - This is happening! |
The Secret Kitchen Café was set up by Marsha Smith in 2011. The aim was to set up a café with no fixed menu and instead focus on making each meal a 'special' which had been freshly cooked with fresh ingredients on the day. Each dish was to be a tasty, vegetarian and wherever possible organic or locally-sourced meal
In the Spring of 2013 the Family Café was launched. A tea-time space where children and families can enjoy a tasty, homemade meal. There's no price-list. People enjoy a meal together in exchange for a donation – of money or time. Food is upcycled from supermarket surplus into a delicious meal that families and communities can share together.
At it's conclusion in April 2014, this 12 month pilot is expecting to have served or distributed 10,000 meals and saved 6 tonnes of food from land-fill. For a food bill of £800.
Marsha's audacious goal? To start a social eating movement that has its roots in Nottingham but which grows and develops across the UK.
Come and join us - it's going to be immense!
