Looks Like Good Food. Feels Like a Good Cause.

Massimo and his team work with different chefs in refettorios (community kitchens) across the world, transforming salvaged food into delicious, healthy meals, and serving them to socially vulnerable people. To date, 450,000 dishes have been served, 45 tonnes of ingredients have been recovered and 340 chefs have worked voluntarily.

Launched in 2017 in central London, the Refettorio Felix provides a 3-course lunch to socially vulnerable people using surplus food. Many Michelin star chefs have prepared meals for the Refettorio’s visitors, including Michel Roux Jr and Angela Hartnett. Some of the people who attend the centre have gained qualifications in hospitality by attending a seven-week course covering cooking, menu planning and food hygiene with a view to working in the catering industry.

Based in London, The Felix Project works with charities and food suppliers to reduce food waste and feed the 100,000 that live in food poverty across the city. The charity also operates a free service to schools to deliver surplus produce that would normally end up as food waste. To help keep the food fresh, Grundig has donated fridges to schools in the programme.

Toast Ale is brewed with fresh, surplus bread that would otherwise be wasted with a slice in every bottle.
