South West pub group Butcombe has rolled out a scheme to reduce food waste across its entire estate, following a successful trial last year.
The business, which is part of Channel Islands-based Liberation Group, will use the Too Good To Go app across its 40 managed pubs, including the Ostrich in Bristol; the White Hart in Wroughton, near Swindon; The Horse and Groom in Malmesbury and The Methuen Arms in Corsham, in Wiltshire; the Frog and Fiddle in Cheltenham; and Broad Street Town House in Bath.
The app gives users the opportunity to buy surplus and unsold food from cafes, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and producers to stop it going to waste. Users purchase a so-called ‘magic bag’ of food - and collect it at an allotted time.
