Blueprint Café launches FareShare Partnership
This autumn, Blueprint Café is making sure good food doesn’t go to waste by partnering with leading food charity FareShare. Blueprint Café will create new dishes, using surplus ingredients from FareShare provided to them directly from supermarkets and food suppliers which would otherwise be discarded. From 16th October until 19th November, the riverside restaurant will use fresh, quality, in-date foods delivered by food waste campaigners FareShare to create daily specials and fundraise for the charity.
Winning Charity of the Year 2017 in The Third Sector Awards, FareShare is known for redistributing food waste to charities and community groups around the UK. FareShare will make regular deliveries to D&D London’s Blueprint Café where Head Chef Joe Albina will work to create dishes utilising the fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy, meat, seafood and other in-date surplus ingredients to create a dynamic, daily changing menu for diners.
Half of the profits from these daily specials will be donated to FareShare, but that’s not all. Customers will have the opportunity to fight hunger and tackle food waste even further, by adding a further £1 donation onto their final bill.
From 16th October until 19th November, Blueprint Café will assist FareShare in turning an environmental problem into a social solution, utilising surplus ingredients to create new dishes and donating half of the profits to the organisation.
