Turning Surplus Into Something Special

Kale & Damson

At Cambridge Dining Co., we are always looking for ways to reduce food waste whilst giving back to our community.

We are delighted to be partnering with Kale & Damson to transform surplus vegetables from their harvests into freshly made soups, served across our cafés. Any excess produce will travel on existing delivery routes, ensuring no additional transport impact, before being crafted into delicious seasonal soups by our kitchen team.

The brilliant idea was sparked by our chef, Jonny, who saw an opportunity to turn leftovers into something valuable rather than letting it go to waste.

The impact doesn't stop there, for every portion sold, we will make a donation to our partner charity It Takes a City, supporting their vital work within the Cambridge community.

This initiative is a simple but meaningful way to reduce waste, support local growers and help make a difference where it's needed most.

A small change with a meaningful impact for our environment and our community.
