A three-course dinner of rescued food at Cecconi's will raise money for FareShare

FareShare Sussex & Surrey^2,3 is holding its autumn Seasonal Surplus Supper Club at Cecconi’s in Brighton Beach House on Tuesday 17 November, from 7pm to 10pm. The menu uses rescued ingredients that would otherwise go to waste.

The charity collects surplus food and passes it on to charities and community groups. For this dinner, the three-course menu will use seasonal food from its depot in Brighton. Invited chefs will cook it and share tips for using up food in your own kitchen. The charity says the chef line-up will be announced soon.

The dining room looks out over the Palace Pier. All proceeds go to FareShare Sussex & Surrey, to help it get surplus food to people who need it. Tickets are £40 on Eventbrite, with refunds up to seven days before the event.

If you’d rather give time than eat, the charity’s Tesco Food Collection runs from 26 to 28 November. Volunteers sign up for a three-hour slot and ask shoppers to donate food that keeps, to fill the depot before winter.

FareShare Sussex & Surrey has been tackling food waste and hunger for nearly 25 years. Nationally, FareShare is now called Felix.
