The Pickle Palace

The Pickle Palace describe themselves as makers extraordinaire of chutneys, pickles and jams.

They are a social enterprise that rescues locally sourced fruit and vegetables from landfill, and lovingly upcycles them into absolutely fantastic products.

With an ethos of joining communities together, wasting no food and helping others do the same, they run "pay as you feel markets" at Strathmore Road Methodist Church Rowlands Gill, Chopwell Community Centre and Greenside Cricket Club.

The markets are open to everyone, whether their motivation is to help with the weekly food bill, to get out and meet people or to share all of the rescued food (donated from supermarkets).

The Pickle Palace relies on donations, which are used to fund their enterprise.
