Combining a delicious way to reduce food waste with a great excuse to bring a community together, DinnerTime is a celebration of food, family and friends. The idea is to reclaim food in your community by making and sharing a meal together, reducing the amount of food we throw away and maybe gaining a new skill along the way. Plus it’s absolutely free!

The day is split into sections, with people free to come and go as they please:

Hunt & Gather 
Bring food you don't know what to do with.  This could be tins you’ve had in the back of the cupboards for ages, spare vegetables, pulses, herbs and spices, left over apple crumble, etc.  Generally, anything that’s edible and too good to throw out. 

Lets get cooking!
Come and help prepare the meal, this is where the fun begins!  Make something yourself, lead a group or simply give a helping hand.  There is plenty of cooking equipment and DinnerTime chefs on hand to give advice. All ages and abilities welcome!

DINNER TIME!
Sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labour; taste new things, have a natter, meet new people.  Any food left over can be either taken away (bring some Tupperware if you like), donated or, if all else fails, composted. 

Film
Relax after a hearty meal with a hand-picked film, or get a drink from the bar and carry on chatting.
