PRESS RELEASESToby Carvery and Too Good To Go extend partnership to fight food waste

Leading surplus food app, Too Good To Go, and home of the roast, Toby Carvery, have announced the extension of their partnership to fight food waste.

Following a successful trial, all 153 Toby Carvery restaurants across the UK are now signed up to the Too Good To Go app so that surplus food is eaten and enjoyed rather than wasted. To date over 40,000 Magic Bags of food have been rescued by hungry consumers, saving over 100 tonnes of CO2e.

Leading the food waste movement, Too Good To Go lets people buy surplus food and drink from restaurants, grocery stores, pubs, cafes and producers to stop it from going to waste.

Consumers can simply download the free Too Good To Go app and search for their nearby Toby Carvery with unsold roasts. They then purchase a ‘Magic Bag’, collect it at an allotted time and enjoy it. The Toby Carvery Magic Bags contain a variety of surplus food from the carvery menu. Roast Carvery Magic Bags are available to rescue on the app for £3.29 and contain food worth at least £8, while Vegetarian Carvery Magic Bags are available for £2.29 and contain food worth at least £6.

Martin Gosling, Operations Director for Toby Carvery, said: “We are very excited to partner with Too Good To Go following a hugely successful trial and we can’t wait to see the positive impact that Toby Carvery will have in reducing food waste.”

Paschalis Loucaides, UK Managing Director at Too Good To Go said: “I’m thrilled to be extending our partnership with Toby Carvery. We’ve had a really successful trial period and I know our app users across the country have been itching to get their hands on a delicious Toby roast while helping to reduce food waste and its impact on the planet. Our partnership shows that you can still enjoy your favourite comfort food, help the planet and get a great deal - it’s a win- win- win.”

ABOUT TOO GOOD TO GO

Too Good To Go has a simple mission: to make sure all food gets eaten, not wasted.

In 2016, a group of entrepreneurs witnessed restaurant staff throwing away fresh food. The food’s only problem? It hadn’t sold in time, and no one was around to take it off the restaurant’s hands. The group pioneered a seamless solution: an app that lists businesses’ unsold food so local diners can find, buy and enjoy it.

Now, thousands of Magic Bags are rescued from businesses such as supermarkets, restaurants, and bakeries every day. The success of the app powers Too Good To Go’s wider efforts to drive a food waste movement, working with schools, industries and governments to build a planet-friendly food system.

Too Good To Go by numbers:

17 countries

100 million meals saved globally

47 million app installs globally

126,000 partner stores globally

2020 became a registered B-Corp
