Eat at London’s only freegan café

Food on a pay-what-you-feel basis

Where: Save the Date, Abbot Street, E8 3DL

Unless you’ve been avoiding the news over the last year you’ll be aware of the tonnes of perfectly good food that ends up in a landfill when supermarkets and restaurants are unable to sell it. Save the Date is a freegan café, in other words they rescue food that would otherwise be going to waste to produce hearty meals like goulash, veggie stews and pastries. And rather than put prices on their dishes, they operate a ‘pay what you feel policy’, making them affordable to all.

The café was built by volunteers using recycled and donated materials, and is almost completely carbon neutral. Could this be the future of the cafe business?
