Durham couple serve wedding guests food from the bin
This might sound like a load of rubbish, but we mean it. Kim Hughes and Dan Woolnough's wedding breakfast will all come from waste food!
Would you serve your wedding guests food from the bin? That's exactly what one Durham couple are doing.
Kim Hughes and Dan Woolnough are having their wedding catered by Durham based cafe, , which makes meals from food waste.
Whilst many couples will spend thousands on the wedding breakfast, they'll serve up meals made from food that was destined (or had already made it) for the bin.
Kim said: "I'm really excited! It's difficult to plan the menu, you don't really know what you're going to get because it depends what gets collected.
"But REfUSE have done an amazing job, we're going to have a few soups for the starter, a couple of types of curries and then for puddings they get a lot of chocolate cakes.
"So a bit of a mis-match, but hopefully really yummy!"
REFUSE is Durham’s branch of the Real Junk Food Project and run pop-up restaurant events on the last weekend of every month in cafes around County Durham. The Real Junk Food Project is a collaborative effort between businesses, catering professionals and activists who hope to bring about a radical change in our food system.
Nikki Dravers from REFUSE in Durham said: "It's all perfectly edible, really good quality food.
"Some of it might be past its best before date or even its use by date, but we strongly believe the date labelling system is flawed and we want to challenge that.
"This food should be feeding people and not bins."
