Open Kitchen Catering

Open Kitchen MCR provided the food for our wedding reception buffet & they were just amazing. Really lovely people & the food was outstanding. They visited the venue beforehand & really worked hard to make everything run smoothly on the day. We requested a vegan & vegetarian buffet & they did such a delicious & varied spread for us-very much enjoyed by all!

We used Open Kitchen for our annual event. Great service and outstanding food. Everyone attending raved about it. I'm only sorry that we are not based in Manchester as we would be using you all the time.

Superb food and service.They catered an event for us recently and everything ran so smoothly. Especially impressive considering I ordered at the very last minute!Food went down a storm.Thank you!

Amazing food both day and night and all made from food destined for the bin, fantastic idea and place

The mantra of this place is “feed bellies not bins.” This is because all food used here is 100% rescued from going to waste, this always means the menu is dynamic and changes everyday and must be a headache for the chef.The restaurant is very different to others in that there is no set price, you pay for what you think the food is worth. The food is of high quality and each dish is well presented. The diners receive an appetiser, starter, main and desert.The menu is set and each dish is cooked to order but that just means you can enjoy a nice cold local beer (2 miles of the building) with good company.As a concept this is a great idea and other restaurants should take note.

We used Open Kitchen to cater for a work event. The whole process was smooth, the team were lovely and helpful and most importantly, the food was delicious! We were very happy and would recommend Open Kitchen to others.

The staff at Open Kitchen were incredibly accommodating and lovely. The food was also delicious and prices were also very reasonable. I'd be very happy to work with them in future.

Using only foodstuff that is destined for the bins because of non-delivery, ie. free food from on-line delivery companies, Real Junk Food (RJF) creates an ever-changing daily menu.We had a vegetarian meal that was very interesting, tasty and surprisingly filling. They even devised a lactose-free version for me.The local brews were great too. Fruity and light, the way I like beer.When debating how much to pay for this meal of vegetables, which is normally cheaper than meat, we decided to give the upper tier. When we spoke with the extremely warm and friendly wait staff, Mike, we found a good reason for it - RJF feeds the street people FOC. With a policy of pay what you think it's worth, some just take advantage of it. If we give more, it's 'paying it forward' in a way, for them.The majority of wait staff comprises volunteers too. An altogether altruistic venture. RJF is moving to bigger premises in a week's time. Great to participate in their success story.

Booked afternoon tea yesterday and the food was absolutely delicious. Chose the ‘alternative afternoon tea’ which comprised of scotch egg, sausage roll, pulled pork sandwich, chips and delicious cakes. Really attentive and friendly staff and the price was so good value for money. Will aim to go back for Sunday roasts which also looked delicious! Thanks again
