How we show up for people in our community
We create safe spaces for curiosity, connection and learning through our cookery workshops, community meals and local events.
Community meals
Every week, we gather in Twerton and Radstock to enjoy a meal around a shared table. It’s all about creating community, connection and the chance to enjoy good food together.
We take surplus ingredients from local producers and suppliers to create a colourful three-course vegetarian meal that’s filling and fulfilling.
Our free or ‘pay-what-you-can’ meals fuel our community with nutritious food, cooked with passion and imagination.
Join us:
Every Wednesday in Radstock - 17.45 - 19.30
Connections, Frome Rd, Writhlington, Radstock BA3 3LL
Every Thursday in Twerton 18.15 - 20.00
Lighthouse Centre, High St, Twerton, Bath, BA2 1DQ
Cookery workshops
Popping up in kitchens and community spaces across Bath and beyond, our hands-on workshops spark curiosity, a love of cookery and an appetite for good food.
We share our kitchen tips and tricks, and cook side-by-side, creating a safe space to learn, connect and build confidence. Whether we’re cooking with children, young adults or people living alone, it’s all about picking up skills for life while you find your way around the kitchen.
Events and gatherings
Through Platter by Bath Community Kitchen, we bring our passion for food, community and creativity to events that bring people together - from celebrations to conference lunches - and create colourful, seasonal and imaginative menus for events of all sizes across Bath.
Whether it’s creative canapés, a spread of salads or campfire supper, hire us to cater for your event and you’ll support our community meals and cookery courses, supporting disadvantaged and diverse groups across Bath and North East Somerset.
Who are we?
We’re a Bath-based not-for-profit CIC (Community Interest Company). Our team of cooks and volunteers love to share their passion for good food and tackling food waste.
We create warm and welcoming spaces where there is a place for everyone to come together, share a meal packed with goodness and gain skills and experiences that extend beyond the kitchen.
Coming together in the kitchen and around a shared table is nourishing. It’s good for our health and wellbeing, our heads and our hearts. Working with local food producers and shops to rescue surplus ingredients and turn them into wholesome meals is good for the planet too!
As a team we want to fuel lasting change in our community. Helping people feel less lonely, more nourished and part of a connected community.
