Shoreditch has a new pop-up cafe inspired by food waste

In London alone, food waste amounts to around £840 a year per family, generating approximately 19 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. If we dealt with food waste more consciously, we could remove the equivalent of one in four cars from our roads. 

The Hotpoint Fresh Thinking Café have an ethos we can really get behind – all the meals served are composed of surplus food sourced from local suppliers where possible, and all proceeds go to FoodCycle who serve community meals to those in poverty and social isolation. What's more, they operate on a pay-as-you-feel basis.

The tasting menu features dishes such as Moroccan chicken, sweet potato croquettes and crushed harissa carrots or salmon kedgeree with a crispy egg and spicy fruit pickle. Sounds good right? And even better knowing that all money spent at the café is going to charity. 

Fresh Thinking Café is open from October 10 – 11. Get booking now via the Hotpoint website.
