PEOPLE in Bristol will be treated to a free feast when a project to save food from landfill comes to Bristol.
The Feeding the 5,000 event is coming to College Green in May to show how food that would normally end up in landfill can be used to produce a wonderful lunch.
It was an event that started in London and Bristol will now host the first such lunch outside of the capital.
The free lunch will be created by FareShare South West on May 12 with food saved from landfill.
It is being supported by local businesses and charities including the Soil Association, Bristol City Council, Food Cycle, Thali Cafe, Love Food, Kambe Events and Coexist.
Celebrity chefs – including Tom Herbert from the Fabulous Baker Brothers, Tom Hunt, Chris Wicks and chefs from the Thali Cafe – will prepare a lunch made from food that would normally end up in landfill, such as misshapen vegetables that are not usually sold in supermarkets.
Jacqui Reeves, project director at FareShare South West, said: "Bristol is the first city to host this event outside London – it's got 'Bristol mentality' written all over it. A free fun day, a free lunch plus we get to show the food industry how the four million tonnes of food they throw away can easily go to people who really need it."
Feeding the 5,000 will be on College Green from 1pm to 5pm on Saturday, May 12.
