Public Diners meets The People's Bread: Pop-up lunch

Information

Nourish Scotland and Scotland The Bread are hosting a simple tasty, healthy, locally-sourced lunch and bread-tasting session based on two powerful ideas that are gaining traction:

1. The Public Diner is a state-supported restaurant that serves affordable, healthy, tasty meals to the general public. Modelled on the 90 state-supported restaurants that existed in Scotland post World War II, and the various models of Public Diners around the world today, they are the public infrastructure around food that is currently missing, alongside public libraries, parks and transport. They are a way for the state to make good food available to everyone. They will help to strengthen communities, end the need for food banks, reduce health inequalities and social isolation, and support a more sustainable food sector.
2. The People’s Bread is the community’s well-fermented, high fibre, affordable and accessible Real Bread that meets the needs of our times. It is inspired by The National Loaf – the World War II response to grain shortages and poor diet. It is a nourishing bread . Whole full fibre organic grain, without toxic residues or harmful additives and processing aids.

Tickets are £5 per person.
We will start with a short presentation to introduce The People's Bread and Public Diners. We will then serve a simple vegetarian stew with a selection of breads and a side-salad of locally-sourced greens followed by a tasty desert.

There will be an exhibition that is open to non ticket-holders where you can find out more about Public Diners.

We will do our best to accommodate dietary requirements. Please let us know at time of booking.
