The café, run in partnership with Camden Council, is an example of a local organisation taking on Camden’s Food Mission which aims to ensure that by 2030, everyone eats well every day with nutritious, affordable, sustainable food.
Run by Lifeafterhummus, the café aims to serve delicious plant-based meals and is open Tuesday to Saturday 12pm to 5:30pm. The café will also provide work experience for young people in Camden who are currently not in education, employment or training.
Councillor Anna Wright, cabinet member for health, wellbeing and adult social care, said: “This fantastic new community café gives residents nutritious, filling hot meals for just a few pounds, making use of food which might otherwise be wasted or not used.
“Lifeafterhummus is also giving work experience placements to Camden young people who are not in work, education or training, where they will get the opportunity to run aspects of the café, the food preparation and serving customers. It’s a great example of how Camden can take on some of the really big challenges we face when we come together and share our skills and resources.”
