The Real Junk Food Project is a global, organic network of pay-as-you-feel cafes that was formed in Leeds in 2013 by Adam Smith. Together we divert perfectly edible food destined for waste and use it to create delicious and healthy meals for anyone and everyone.
Food Waste and Food Poverty are two major tragedies that we are currently facing. We aim to bridge that gap. We are one of a very few businesses whose aim is to go out of business. This would mean that there is either no food waste to intercept or no hungry tummies to feed, then our job would be considered done!

We provide affordable and healthy meals for everyone in our community.
We educate the general public and campaign against global issues that food waste creates.
Between May and September 2017 we collected 2500kg of would-be-waste food and provided over 300 meals.
We will help you cook and eat healthier. Our recipes will help you prepare meals that the entire family an enjoy.
Make this easy rice pudding recipe in just five steps. This dish is delicious alone or topped with fresh or frozen fruits. Perfect for the whole family to enjoy.
Tuna pasta bake is a classic family recipe. This is perfect for a midweek family meal, a quick and easy way to satisfy the whole family.
We enjoyed a very pleasing experience today. The people are so friendly and helpful. The food was well cooked and of a high standard. What a good idea to utilise the food discarded by various big stores as a way of helping the hungry and the less well off and needy. - P & J, Coventry -
Tim and Katie prepared an amazing buffet of delightful food made – unbelievably – entirely from supermarket surplus. All the food was fresh, well prepared and tasty. I would have no hesitation in using their service again 10/10!
I am a visitor from Germany and I am impressed by the project and Café. The atmosphere is very friendly and I like that people are chatting with each other. It is an inspiration to join. Thank you very much for the nice work! Read more...
