Nottingham Vegetarian/Vegan Meetup Group

Notts Dining Co-op is a group of people creating high quality but cheap plant-based community meals for the public at regular intervals. We are currently serving a regular vegan meal on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month at the Sumac Centre. Past offerings include paella, meatballs, tagine, enchiladas, tacos, tapas, goulash, biryani, pasta, falafel, dal, stir-fry, soup, lasagna, tikka masala, turndown, lentil shepherd's pie. There is no fixed charge, you can pay what you like, but we recommend £2. Hot drinks are available from the Sumac's facilities (make small donation please).

Note: the meal is usually not ready by 7, there can be a wait before it is served up. This time can be used to get to know your fellow diners and discuss the finer points of vegan cuisine!

We are looking to bring more people on board. Are you interested in helping a growing vegan community food project? Different roles are available.

The New Art Exchange Corner Cafe (which is entirely plant-based) puts on a community meal on the first Thursday of every month, from 5pm till 7. This is a continuation of their earlier community meals but now each has a focus on the cuisine of a particular country, and is paired with a relevant film.

Pay what you want or can afford - donation rather than set price. Drinks are generally not part of the deal but can be bought for their usual prices. Note: it's best to get there early rather than late, to be sure of getting a meal. And unfortunately it can get crowded in the cafe and we may need to share a table with others not in the group, and be mindful of others needing space.

"At Corner Café, we serve up plant-based dishes from a different culture on the first Thursday of every month.

Meals are served from 5 pm and drinks are available to buy at the café.
Our gallery will be open until late for you to explore.
Everyone is welcome – no one turned away for lack of funds. Sit down, enjoy a great meal and get to know your local community!
Please note that The Community Kitchen is first-come, first-served. We prepare a limited number of portions to minimise food waste. While booking a ticket helps us estimate how many people to expect and promotes the event, it does not guarantee that you will receive food. We recommend arriving early to avoid disappointment.
Our food is always vegan-friendly at Community Kitchen events and allergy information is available on request."
