untitled-1Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says ….

“I feel so strongly about our chickens that I’ve launched a national campaign, which I’ve called Chicken Out! Part of it was a TV series on Channel 4, which highlighted the conditions in which most table birds are reared, and put pressure on the UK industry to raise its standards”.

Food Waste Campaign

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Pudding Pie Waste Food Campaign Oxfordshire Waste Partnership in association with the  Love Food Hate Waste Campaign, have asked us to help them run various Food Waste Awareness days, over the coming months.

Visiting many different locations and events across Oxfordshire, we will be running demonstrations on how to re-use, what is currently considered waste food. Did you know the average Oxfordshire household wastes £420 worth of good food every year? Or to put it another way for every three bags of shopping we buy, one of those goes straight in the bin! Something we are all hoping we can help to change!

Look out for coming news of locations we will be visiting.

We have now managed to move all our Party Invites and Flyers over to Eco-Paper from FSC Managed Forrests and all our Party Bags are 100% recyclable, we even use Bio-Degradable Bin Bags to take any rubbish away!
