We had lots of apples at the cabin yesterday, so if you are looking for ideas on what to do with them - especially any cooking apples, here's a tasty alternative to crumble - Eve's Pudding. 🍏🍏🍏🍮

We collect a variety of surplus food from Pret on Brook Street every Saturday at their closing time, then take it straight round to the cabin on Gray Street to share it with anyone who will use it from around 5:40pm.
The amount of food varies every week, and sometimes we have more than other times. The attached photo shows what we collected last week.
We stay open for around half an hour or until everything has gone, whichever happens first.
