If you want real soul food come here. Beautiful cheese and onion pie, wedges and vegetable. No soggy bottoms here! Followed up with pineapple cake like your nan used to make. Perfect!

Popped in today with the dog for a cuppa and am so glad I did! I was blown away by just how friendly and welcoming the staff were, and Charlie definitely enjoyed the cuddles. I'll definitely be back for lunch soon now I know what a gem this place is, and their committment to reducing food waste makes it even better.

Quite noisy and couldn't concentrate when I volunteered here and it got too much but staff are friendly.

Novel and effective. REfUSE have shown proof of concept and in so doing are reducing local food waste.As others have said they operate a pay or volunteer system (with a recommended £5 donation per meal) which is fantastically novel and leads to lots of variation in what?s available. The coffee is great and has a standard (but competitive) price.Over the last year I?ve seen the customer base increase steadily and the smoothness of the service improve. Support these guys if you?re in the area.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide doors on entry with staff more than happy to provide assistance. Lots of space between tables for wheelchairs. Unable to comment on the space in the toilets.

This is a pay as you feel cafe. The menu is defined by what has been donated.

I had a breakfast in there, which was nice. I didn't realise it was a pay what you want establishment.The food was good, but what made it better, was the thought that I was helping to cut down food waste. Many people coming in to pick up supplies. A fantastic idea, well done to the organisers and volunteers ? .
