Pub in the Park is teaming up with Brighton and Hove Food Partnership to help those who face poverty.

For the first time Pub in the Park, which comes to Brighton’s Preston Park on July 14, will be introducing a donate-a-dish scheme.

This “dish” will feature on every restaurant menu in Brighton for £3. Rather than being a physical meal, it will act as a means to donate to the local food bank. This "pay it forward" scheme will not only raise funds but also awareness of the work the food bank does for local people.

Tom Kerridge, Michelin-star chef and founder of Pub in the Park, said: “We're all about food here at Pub in the Park and we want to do everything we can to support families who are struggling to put food on the table. Giving back to the local communities in each town that we visit is so important to us and an essential part of the festival this year and beyond.”

Miranda Martin, managing director at Pub in the Park said: “It is more important now than ever to spotlight charities supporting our local communities and combating the current cost of living crisis.”
