Open Kitchen is a social enterprise sustainable and ethical catering company. We’re a Real Living Wage Employer, a local independent business, and really committed to doing the right thing.
Our model is rather unique. Everything we buy supports the sustainable food future that we want to see – local, seasonal, sustainably produced and ethically sourced. We also work with a huge range of food businesses to intercept beautiful food that will otherwise go to waste (lowering Greater Manchester’s carbon footprint). Our team of experienced chefs use this ever changing mix to create fresh, bespoke, delicious menus every single day.

We have an events catering service, delivering catering and refreshments for meetings, workshops, training events, etc. We offer a range of talks, workshops, and lunch & learn events around food waste, our sustainable food future, links and false links between food waste and food poverty, and much more. And (just in case that’s not enough  ) we also offer team building activities including sustainable wine tasting evenings, waste food reducing cooking demos and classes, and learning to make pickles and kimchi.

All of our profits, and some grant funding, support our community work, providing grocery parcels, nutritious meals and cookery lessons to people experiencing food poverty.
