Elsie's Cafe in South Northamptonshire

Wonderful atmosphere and some amazing dishes! We had the Wednesday buffet lunch and tried so many new dishes I wouldn't have elsewhere! Atmosphere was lovely and staff were helpful describing what Elsies do and the plans they have for the future I will be back again soon

Elsie makes marvellous meals out of food headed for the dump,every day is different from vegan,vegetarian and meals for meat eaters. For a three course meal,buffet,or just a cuppa and a chat I'd highly advise if your in the Northampton area pop in you so won't be disappointed and if you can only afford a £1 then that's fine,but the more pennies the better so they can save more food.

We been a few times to Elsie's cafe for lunch. The food is good is reasonably priced ( you just make a donation) the cafe is run by volunteers who don't get paid and all the food is donated from local businesses. The cafe is a charity to stop food waste.

Discover new place • No food waste • Freshly cooked meals • Pay as you feel • All is good 美食环保在身边，超市、菜市场和广大民众都往此捐赠食材，义工厨师巧手制作美食，本土环保意识值得借鉴。

I went to Elsie's for lunch on Thursday, got there about 1.30 and they had sold out! They had been very very busy, the word is spreading. That will teach me to get there earlier. So this morning, Friday, I went for breakfast. Had a croissant with my coffee as I waited, then sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomato, beans, toast, white pudding arrived. Well cooked, well presented, freshly cooked and hot. I had an extra coffee and then paid "as you feel" , for which they ask a minimum donation of £2. If I lived in the area I would spend every Friday morning here!

A marvellous place Considering this is a charity (not for profit) enterprise, there is a lot to commend Elsie's cafe.. I was disappointed to read a few 'picky' earlier reviews of the cafe on Trip Advisor. They seem to forget that this a charity-driven set up that 'recycles' food what would be thrown away, and the team of VOLUNTEERS produce delicious meals. There is friendly service within a caring community. Team leader Shena is simply marvellous. Stupendous work. Best wishes Robin Warner

Elsies continues to shine 👍 Great food Good range of food options, vegetarian, starter, mains and pudding! Excellent value, give a realistic donation though and take from the boutique table Friendly staff who are welcoming and helpful, especially Julie the volunteer Lovely relaxed atmosphere Spotless and good hygiene Great ethos! Worth a visit when in town and support the project!

The most amazing place. The Chef on the day was brilliant. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was special. I will be spreading the word for everybody to visit. Please support this wonderful cause. Terry Richards

A cafe with a twist, rescuing food from super markets that is destined for landfill, these amazing people rescue the food and cook it, serve it and all for a voluntary donation if help, time or anything else that helps! Amazing vibe, friendly staff, brilliant values, a good lesson for us all. Also check out the boutique table for food to take away!

My self and my mother visited for the wednesday lunchtime service on 8/2/17. The two young chaps that were waitering were excellent. Worked together as a team and were attentive. Food was good but it is a shame that the vegi burgers had been served cold. Boutique table looked unusually thin on the ground? If it was because of less waste then this is positive, if a stocking error had been made then shame. dining room was busy which is always good to see but a quarter of your available seating space had been lost to the knitting group. If footfall increasing at your new location you may have to look at the potential lost opportunity cost, if any, for this arrangement.to continue Seems less 'edgy' and tense at the new location which is good.

Love this place. New premises are much lighter with a lovely atmosphere and always a great vegetarian option.

Not good lighting Needs decorating Had to wait 15 min for menu. Felt uncomfortable :(. Disappointing

I met with friends for a coffee only, sadly cakes didn't look to inviting. BUT the whole idea is amazing and the owner is wonderfully hospitable. So I am looking forward to having lunch there. They are moving to Exeter Place in January 2017 and hoping to extend opening hours. So give it try and see what you think. I am hoping to upgrade my rating after sampling their lunch menu. I can't rate food as didn't have any.

We have been to Elise's cafe many times . It's has a nice relaxed feel . They come and take your order and within no time you get a plate of goodness :) our favourite dish by far is the goat curry .

Llevé a mi familia a comer en Elsie's a principios de año. Nos sorprendió la variedad de alimentos disponibles para comer - un triste signo de los desechos de alimentos que es potencialmente ocurre en supermercados, ya que es un pequeño porcentaje.

La comida era deliciosa, nutritiva y abundante y disfrutado por mi familia. Es asombroso lo que se preparan comidas aquí. Este fantástico lugar ha ganado la Comida Local Hero para comida y bebida de los Premios Northamptonshire y un bien merecido ganador para desviar la buena comida de ir a vertederos. Funciona en un ambiente de pago base

Una verdadera alegría para ir a Elsie's Café & ver todo el buen trabajo de ir trabajando con los residuos de comida. supermercados locales

Gran bienvenida, tenía una taza y un plato de sopa de calabaza. La comida siempre super sabrosa pero lo mejor de todo es el espíritu del lugar, residuos de alimentos, dirigido por voluntarios de combatir, bien merece una visita, el pago por la donación. Su mensual 'binners obtener 10 / 10 sin dudarlo.

An interesting experience, Elsie's is a "pay as you feel" cafe with a donation box. The cafe "rescues" end of life food from supermarkets and cooks it into a delicious meal. The menu is varied and you never seem to get the same thing twice, it's entirely based on what they rescue or are donated. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is unique. My one gripe is the current location, it's a long way out from the town centre and the seating arrangements can be awkward as the venue is a pub at night. Your sitting on pub stools in front of low tables Having said that, Elsie's is moving soon so I'm sure the seating will be better in it's new venue

Fighting food waist and feeding people for close to nothing. Great for lunch tue-thu if you about. Keep it going Elsie's!

Este lugar es genial, y bien merece una visita regular a apoyar. Finalmente me las arreglé para visitar la semana pasada durante unas vacaciones de trabajo, pero he estado siguiendo su viaje en su página web y página de Facebook y la comida siempre parece increíble, y ahora, después de haber probado que es!. La comida es deliciosa y trajes ingenioso y todos los gustos y cuando creo que hubiera sido tirado?. Hay un gran ambiente ecléctico y no puedo esperar a volver. Espero que en algún momento está abierto los fines de semana, como iría regularmente como estoy seguro de que otros que no pueden conseguir en la semana sin haber ido, y ahora prefiero donar a este lugar que ir a ningún otro sitio! Por favor, ve y sus amigos y familia.

Dirigido por voluntarios, con comida que está a punto de ser descartados- para destacar los desperdicios de comida.
