What is Too Good To Go?

Too Good to Go provides a channel for surplus food from stores and restaurants to go to good use. By working with Too Good To Go Beckett Food will reduce food waste by finding people willing to pay a reduced rate for food that would otherwise go to waste. We’re in good company – Greggs, Starbucks, Morrisons, and many more independents across Leeds and the United Kingdom have already signed up.

We’re passionate about improving our sustainability, like locally sourcing our food and serving Fairtrade tea and coffee, an important factor in this is reducing waste. Currently 99% of our waste is diverted from landfill by being converted into a nutrient rich biofertilizer by our specialist recycling partners.

Our aim is for more meals to be used for their purpose - providing healthy, tasty and nutritious food. Our meals get a second chance with Too Good To Go by becoming part of a Magic Bag.

What's In the Bag?

Your bag will contain at least £9.00's worth of food for the bargain price of £3.00. Within you’ll find a mixture of sandwiches, Beckett Kitchen meals, cakes, pastries, salads and much more. Part of the magic and mystery is you won’t know exactly what’s in the bag until you pick it up!

How Do I Get One?

To get your bag download the free Too Good To Go app from your App Store, set your location and look out for our uploads. Collection points and times vary between campuses;
