Your new local café with a big heart

We’re not your average café.

At The Arbury Social, we serve up delicious, affordable meals, always cooked from scratch and made from seasonal and surplus ingredients — cutting food waste while supporting our community.

A warm, welcoming community space where you can eat well, connect and feel at home.

All profits are reinvested in our local community food projects, so every meal you buy helps support a fairer, more sustainable food system in Cambridge.

Find us at:
The Meadows Community Centre, 299 Arbury Road, Cambridge CB4 2JL
Open Monday - Friday 9am - 2.30pm

Keep an eye out for special events, pop ups and community meals.

Interested in volunteering? We’d love to hear from you! Contact: alex@cambridgesustainablefood.org
