A very generous amount of food and it's delicious too
I hate to see good food going to waste which is why I've signed up to To Good To Go. The app connects users with shops, cafes and restaurants that have surplus unsold food.
This week I decided to treat myself to a breakfast. Several of the hotels, including Crowne Plaza in Wollaton Street, Nottingham, and the Mercure in Carrington, have a deal. Heading into the hotel reception I've barely had time to take a seat when a staff member appears with a brown bag. I hot-foot it back to the office, a 12-minute walk, eager to see what's inside. Other than the croissant on top, I can see three containers but the contents are a mystery.
This is leftover food from the hotel's buffet so I must confess I did wonder if there would be congealed egg and leathery bacon. There wasn't. The sausages are decent and the bacon has tasty crispy bits at the edge. The mushrooms are juicy and tomato is well-seasoned The beans... there must be about a 400g tin's worth and they're absolutely fine. Nothing has suffered from being carried across town.
