Together we're Recycling Lives

Catering for your event with Fresh Start Buffets supports our wider training and rehabilitation programmes.

Our cafe and Training Kitchen - where buffets are prepared and can be served - offer training placements, employment and wrap-around support for people working to overcome histories of offending, addiction or homelessness. Through meaningful work experience in a supportive environment, these opportunities give people the skills and resources to change their lives.

Additionally, profits generated by our Catering offering are reinvested in our Training Kitchen, allowing us to offer free or low cost cookery classes to communities, to improve skills, health and wellbeing.

"Fresh Start Café & Buffets go above and beyond, keeping our training days running smoothly with delicious food, perfectly prepared rooms, and thoughtful hospitality. "They’ve served over 300 meals to our staff and deliver quality, warmth, and brilliant value every single time."
