  • People gathered in a community hall or event space, some waiting in line at a counter, others seated at tables, with a woman holding a baby in the foreground.

    Community Pop-Up Cafés

    Throughout the year we cook up a feast using surplus food from local gardens and allotments and the Oxford Food Hub. We serve a hot meal on a 'pay as you feel' basis and create a space for people to meet each other, socialise, and take part in nature-inspired art activities.

    We are always looking for more people to join our team of volunteers. No previous experience necessary - just a willingness to learn about cooking with surplus food for a large number of people.
