A free hot dinner every Wednesday evening, cooked by volunteers and served at shared tables.

Neighbours of all ages share bowls of stew and bread at a long wooden table, talking and laughing.

How it works

Pull up a chair. Dinner is on.

Every Wednesday, our volunteer cooks make a hot dinner for up to 80 people. Anyone is welcome, with no registration and no questions. Many guests come for the company as much as the food. The menu is posted here on Monday, with the main allergens listed for each dish.
