If you are, for any reason, struggling to put food on the table, you are invited to join us each Friday between 5.30 and 6.30, where you’ll be provided with a delicious main course and dessert, along with tea and coffee. After offering a grab-and-go service since July 2020, we are delighted to now be serving a sit-down meal at Central Hall. Soul Food’s ethos is dedicated to offering ‘more than a meal’, and inviting guests into the building aligns with our desire to offer community, hospitality and friendship along with fulfilling a basic need for food.
