The Secret Kitchen was initially set up in 2011 by Marsha Smith to serve locals (and beyond) with a cafe offering no fixed menu, but instead focused on making each meal a freshly cooked ‘special’ that was tasty, vegetarian and organic or locally sourced wherever possible. Last year the kitchen opened the Family Cafe and this innovative and unique latest project actually upcycles donated supermarket food surplus that might otherwise have been thrown away, into delicious meals for children and families in return for a donation of either money or time – with a super-affordable price list. The aim of the cafe is to set up a space where people can share food and get together as a community to make the most of what they have and to tackle food poverty, offering an alternative to food banks.
