Second Helpings in South Kesteven

Such a fantastic and worthy project to save food otherwise destined for the bins. A huge variety of tasty meals, vegetables and fruit served by very friendly volunteers. Highly recommended.

Amazing food - Feeding Bellies not Bins. You will be amazed at the meals provided - tasty & nutritious. As for the cost - we’ll you decide that too - pay as you feel. Brilliant. Highly recommended.

Brilliant idea manned by wonderful VOLUNTEERS! Wastefully managed Supermarkets throw good food away daily.SECOND HELPINGS collect and redistribute to a "pay as you feel" Public. All proceeds to good causes locally. And they compost their waste (or Andy feeds his flock with a lovely mixed diet!) Zero Waste here.

The best meals in town by a long way, and all made from food that was otherwise destined for landfill. A brilliant charity project/concept run by dedicated volunteers. Brinnging people of Stamford together!

I love eating at Second Helpings. Friendly, good food, Wonderful atmosphere - all are welcome. Then there's the Bunker and the Community Fridge. What's not to like?

Was expecting a lot less than we got. Food was stunning - small selection, though veg option good. Pay what you can - have to respect the ethos behind the cafe.

This project inspires me and my family. The food is fantastic but what stands out the most is the warmth of the place and the lovely atmosphere.

It's so nice to go somewhere where community spirit is evident, everyone is welcomed, the food served is homely, I enjoy taking my son. It's making a real difference in the community and the food you can eat on a Saturday or collect from the bunker is varied and tasty! Well done to all the volunteers who work so hard to make it happen.

The work that is put in here by George and his team of helpers is just admirable. They tirelessly visit local supermarkets at the end of each day to take food which would otherwise go to landfill. Some of it is used to serve "pay as you feel" three-course lunches, and the rest can be found in their little shop (the Bunker) for locals to help themselves to for a donation. There is fruit, veg, bread and occasionally eggs and even flowers. Over time we have seen the shop get smarter and better organised, and the opening hours are increasing all the time. When it's closed, you can still help yourselves from the fridge outside in the Methodist church passageway. We go a couple of times a week. George has some amazing stats on how many tonnes of food waste he has prevented from going to landfill - a real achievement. It's also significantly reduced the amount of money we spend on our weekly shop.

They deliver a fantastic service to the community. Lovely food served and a friendly group of volunteers that run it.

This is pay as you feel, and if you can't then you don't. There is a whole team of volunteers behind the scenes to rescue the ingredients before they are binned by the supermarkets. The food is well made, like you'd eat at home rather than restaurant presentation, and there are only a couple of options available always including a veggie option. Great value and great for the environment.

Filling Bellies Not Bins. George and Co. have done a fantastic job of collecting food from the local Supermarkets, then invite “Guest Chefs” to cook. I’ve volunteered myself a few times. They’ve now expanded to have a Kids Lunch, that proving very popular. Enjoy and “Pay as you Feel”.

An amazing, friendly place, great food. Ideal for my grandchildren during the summer holidays, also love the fridges and other foods you can get, pay as you feel, brilliant.

The bunker is run by truly fantastic volunteers who sort and weigh all the food. You never quite know what amazing offerings you will find a lot of seasonal produce. Either from supermarkets, homegrown or independent businesses. They now have a community fridge Sept 2019 and are offering holiday lunches for kids and well as a Saturday lunchtime meal. You pay as you feel fit and how you pay may be your time, own home grown or money but nothing has a price and the best bit is your saving all this food/flowers from landfill. 100% recommended Stamford Second Helpings
