The Stable Food Shop

The Food Shop is about food waste and draws surplus stock from a variety of organizations to reduce the amount of food waste that we generate as a population and will run as a membership scheme, costing £5 per household for each 6-month period.

"Members will be able to visit

The Food Shop weekly to purchase a range of items which will then be priced at the till. It is expected that a basket of shopping will cost around £5 but be worth at least £40.

Opening hours will be Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10am to 3pm and Tuesday and Thursday 11am to 7pm. If you would like to become a member you can sign up by popping into The Food Shop at The Stable, 3-6 Wadham Street, Weston-super-Mare BS23 1JY.
