Situated a few yards from a Banksy in the Bohemian area of Stokes Croft, Skipchen uses food that has all been donated and/or salvaged from skips. The staff are volunteers and apparently, the small building they use has been donated by one of the neighbours, apparently.
You pay what you want, and nobody is standing over you when you put any money into the donation box. If you don't pay anything, then there's no pressure at all.
The food we had was mostly fine so there's no need to worry about undercooked gone-off food and the suchlike. The sitting can probably sit about a total of 20 comfortably, or 30 or so if people are squished together.
It seems to close at about 4 p.m. However, we were there at about 5 p.m. one day. So, maybe it depends on staff/food availability or something else.
The vibe may not be for everyone. Some of you will love it, whilst others may not. read more
