AMEX Community Stadium brasserie, City College and a Whoopsadaisy Music Night at Pub du Vin

Waste not, want not
When the idea to get a group of City College students together to create a feast made predominantly of surplus and up-cycled ingredients became a reality, the biggest concern was that something would have to give; but it turned out quite the opposite.

On 22 October, the AMEX Community Stadium brasserie was full of keen food-loving guests and even more enthusiastic students, apprentices and chefs from leading local restaurants, all willing to take the challenge. The result was an outstanding five course meal served with local wines, statistics that shocked all (80% surplus ingredients with as little as 3-5% waste) and energetic conversation on food waste concerns. This union was a memorable one, and has planted a seed for thought and change in the foodie community of the city.

Whoopsadaisy
A Whoopsadaisy Music Night took place at Pub du Vin on 10 October raising over £3000. The fun evening with 11 local bands included a performance by two members of the Brighton Beach Boys.
