Pavilion Garden Cafe is one of many restaurants in Brighton which have joined Too Good To Go.
What is Too Good To Go (TGTG)? Too Good To Go is a hyper-local environmental social enterprise dedicated to reducing food waste. At a small cost ranging from £2 - £3.80, you're able to enjoy the delicious foods that would otherwise be thrown out at participating restaurants. Through the Too Good To Go app you can order delicious food from local restaurants, cafes and bakeries, collect it up to an hour before closing time and enjoy on-the-go in an environmentally-friendly TGTG sugarcane box.
Background: Founded in Denmark at the end of 2015 by a group of friends, Too Good To Go was soon able to grow internationally thanks to the diversity of its team. Those who had started the concept up in Scandinavia were quickly ready to take it home and in January 2016 work began on Too Good To Go UK. The team launched the app in Brighton and Leeds in June 2016 and work is well under way to roll out in London and the rest of the country.
Aim: Their mission is to save food, save money and save the planet by placing the lost value back onto food as humankind’s most valuable energy resource, and not something that should just be carelessly throw in the bin.
