The Kitchen Table

The Kitchen Table The Kitchen Table is a weekly free meal service available to children and their parents/carers. What does the Kitchen Table offer? That's fine!

We serve a free meal to children (under 18) and their parents/carers from their household every Monday in the centre behind Christ Church on Stoke Road at 5pm (Please arrive at 4.50pm to be seated). We are working in partnership with the Trash Cafe Network who kindly provide us with the majority of the fresh food, and P&Js Food wholesaler who offer us great deals on stock. We also have goods goods

donated by the community. We will provide a hearty nutritious meal with a vegan option and a pudding. We are linked with local schools and hope to build relationships with young people and their families that encourage and demonstrate our commitment to sharing a meal together and tackling food instability. What do I have to do to qualify? There is no eligibility criteria to attend, all we ask is that you only book if you are available and that you cancel if you are no longer planning to come so that your space can be offered to someone else and we don't waste food. Please also remember to book a ticket PER person and not per family as we have limited spaces (for example if you are a parent with 3 children and a baby then you would need to select 5 tickets). Teenagers are counted as children for our records but we will make sure they get a big enough portion. What if I have an allergy or additional needs around food? We can accommodate most food intolerances/allergies but please add this to your booking so that we can contact you if needed to discuss. Our food is donated so we may need time to check! We will try our best to meet any additional needs and have some children who attend already with sensory food needs and this is no issue. We also cater for pork/gelatine free if needed. Can I bring my friend/neighbours/sister's children? Unfortunately not, we are providing meals for children and their immediate family from their household. This is partly as parents have responsibility for their children whilst on site, and partly because our goal is both to provide food and also encourage families to eat a meal together. What if I have booked but can no longer attend? We understand that things happen last minute, all we ask is that you cancel your booking as sometimes we are fully booked and those spaces could be used for other people who might be short of money/food. It also avoids us wasting good fresh food. We look forward to seeing you soon!
