Nailsea Community Larder The Community Larder exists to reduce food waste. Everything is free as it needs a home to stop it being wasted. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who is it for?

All members of the community are welcome to take 5 items from the Larder, plus bread, every day. Anyone. The Larder exists to stop food going to waste. Where is it?
26 Somerset Square, Nailsea. Next to WH Smiths (it's where the ping pong parlour used to be). When is it open? Monday to Saturday 10.00am-12.30pm. Where does the food come from? Local supermarkets, businesses and individuals. Donations of surplus goods from allotments welcomed. Why is it there? It’s aim is to reduce food waste. In the UK we throw away 10.2million tonnes of food each year which in turn creates more than 20million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions - the equivalent to 3.5 million cars. What will I find in it? This depends on what has been donated. We usually have bread, an assortment of fruit and vegetables, sometimes cakes and fresh flowers. Can I donate food? Yes, but from individuals we can only take fresh veg and fruit or unopened tins and packets within use by date due to restrictions of food safety certification. Can I donate money? Yes – funds are always welcome to help with our running costs. The link to our gofundme page is here - https://gofund.me/624a2a59

Who is running it? The Nailsea Community Group and it’s amazing volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering please contact us [email protected]

🍎 APPLE LOVERS, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU! 🍎

We’ve got LOADS of lovely little eating apples at the Larder and we definitely don’t want them going to waste!

So whether you fancy a bag, a crate or even two, come along and help yourself. 🍏🍎

Perfect for lunchboxes, snacks, crumbles, pies… or just eating straight from the bag! 😋

Come and get ’em before they’re gone!

🍎 Feed bellies, not bins. 🍎

🌱 Have you tried Tempeh? 🌱

We’ve got LOTS of this fantastic protein available in the Larder at the moment!

Never heard of it? You’re not alone! 😊

Tempeh is made from fermented soya beans and is packed with protein and fibre. It has a firm, slightly nutty flavour and soaks up whatever you cook it with, making it really versatile.

Here are a few easy ways to use it:
🥘 Chop it into a curry or chilli.
🍜 Stir-fry it with vegetables and noodles.
🥪 Slice it, marinate it and pop it in a sandwich or wrap.
🥗 Cube it and add it to a salad.
🍟 Coat it with your favourite seasoning and cook it in the air fryer for a crispy snack.

It’s suitable for vegetarians and vegans, but plenty of meat eaters enjoy it too!

If you’ve never tried it before, why not pick up a pack on your next visit? It’s a great chance to try something new, and we’d love to hear what you make with it. If you’ve got a favourite tempeh recipe, share it in the comments to inspire others! 💚

We have around 20 crates of apples looking for good homes!
They are completely free and available to everyone. If you're part of a local community group, school, nursery, club, church, or any organisation that could make use of some apples, we'd be delighted to donate a crate or two. If your group would like some apples, please get in touch.

We'll also have plenty available in the Larder and outside for anyone, so please feel free to pop along, bring a bag, and help yourself. Let's make sure this lovely fruit is enjoyed rather than wasted.
