Susan is cooking up a delicious menu designed to delight the taste buds and nobody is going home hungry!
REfUSE is a social enterprise based in Chester-le-Street, County Durham. Our vision is to reveal the true value of things, places and people that may be unjustly wasted or overlooked.
Join us and tuck into a restaurant-style dinner with a twist: the food we serve is driving the transition to a healthier, more sustainable food system. Most of the food we serve would otherwise have been destined for waste. We rescue it, see the quantity and quality of food deemed ‘worthless’, and revalue it by making nutritious meals that teach people about the true value of food. We continue in our mission to end food waste, we now also recognise that what we do is a really small part of a big complex interconnected food system.
Our popular restaurant nights are one of our best ways of raising funds for the cafe’s community work. The focus of which is a Pay As You Feel cafe and community shop. We also run an outreach program for schools, businesses and community groups to engage and exemplify a healthy and sustainable food system through talking and practical action. All our work is fuelled by, and centred around, a dedicated, reactive and inclusive volunteer community.
Filling our little electric van every day, we intercept tonnes of food each month from supermarkets and retailers around the North East. From October 2024, in response to feedback from our customers, we will occasionally be purchasing meat and fish in line with our sustainability policy. We will be showcasing local producers, growers and businesses with a focus on organic where possible. We are introducing a £3 surcharge for these menu options, these dishes will be clearly marked and there will always be other options available. Dishes made with meat or fish from our normal collections will not be subject to the surcharge.
The difference REfUSE makes goes far beyond saving food from going to landfill. Our projects have made an impact on the health and mental health of our community, the values and decisions of supermarket executives, our high street’s economy, gender equality, community cohesion and welcome of refugees. People have eaten together across divides, children have had greater access to fresh fruit and vegetables, some have become climate change advocates and others have gone on to find paid employment.

How much?
For these Christmas events we have a set price of £25 per head. This includes a three-course meal, and you can bring your own wine or other alcohol. We do have a limited selection of soft drinks and mixers available to purchase on the night. We will provide each table with tap water, glasses and ice, and always have a Corkscrew or Bottle Opener on hand!
We ask for a deposit of *£5, TicketSource charge their own fee on top of this, this will leave £20 per ticket to pay on the evening. All money goes towards the food waste-saving work of REfUSE.
*Please note that this £5 deposit is non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
