Food Works Sheffield Building a world where food is produced and used sustainably, nourishing people and our planet. Get involved! https://thefoodworks.org/

We are a social enterprise, established in 2015 to raise awareness of and reduce the scandal of food waste. We've grown to save over 500 tonnes of food per year and now work on building a fair and sustainable food system for everyone in Sheffield. We do this through our Kitchen where we upcycle food, Market where we made food available to all and Farm where we grow our own food locally. We work with 100s of committed volunteers whose time, passion and skill drive our ability to feed thousands of people each month.

🍐 Pears refusing to ripen? Bake them!

Stop waiting for hard fruit to ripen on the counter. You can chop hard pears, toss them with cinnamon and cornflour, and bake them right into a pie crust. Pair that with a fridge-clearout egg fried rice stir-fry, and that's dinner sorted!

Are you a "wait for it to ripen" person or a "bake it immediately" person? 👩‍🍳

🎄Celebrate your team’s hard work this Christmas with a meal that makes a real impact!🎄

Christmas is traditionally a peak time for food waste, but in our kitchens, it's a time for good. Our chefs will be crafting delicious, eco-conscious festive meals using rescued surplus and locally grown produce. Every pound spent directly funds our city-wide mission - helping us save over 400 tonnes of food from landfill each year and feed local children for free during school holidays.

Choose from:
🎄 Festive Lunch: Welcome drinks, a 3-course festive meal (catered to all dietary needs), plus tea & coffee.

🎁 Festive Hampers: Handpicked surplus items + homemade treats (e.g. chutneys, granolas, infused oils).

✨ Festive Lunch & Hamper Combo: The full 3-course meal + a takeaway hamper for every guest!

Spaces at our Sharrow Cafe are limited, so lock in your spot with a £10 deposit per person using our booking form below 👇

(All images are from previous Christmas's so menus and hampers will vary)
