FRIENDSHIP THROUGH FOOD
MINT LANE MARKET
The Mint Lane Market offers a wide range of produce, all of which has been donated or rescued from going to waste.
Local food farmers and producers stock our shelves with a range of seasonal delicious fruit and vegetables.
Our prices are very reasonable, ranging from only 25p!
We also make up generous fruit and veg boxes for only £5. Most customers find that the box keeps them going thoroughout the week.
Every Tuesday we receive our Fareshare Midlands delivery - this often brings ready to heat options and a wide selection of chilled products.
….
The Mint Lane Market is open every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am until 3pm.
It’s open to all, no membership, no subscription and no minimum spend.
….
You can also donate a veg box or a small ‘shop’ to someone who needs it through our Pay It Forward scheme.
Catering Services
Would you like to put on a delicious, sustainable spread for your next corporate or community event?
Our catering service is run by our head chef Lynsey and her team of volunteers who create dishes from surplus ingredients that we source locally and from Fareshare Midlands.
This means that every catering job will have at least 80% surplus ingredients, some of which might even come from Lincoln allotments at the right time of year!
