FOOD

The Platform Cafe is open to the public between 7:30am and 2:30pm Monday to Friday to eat in or take away. The daily changing menu is vegetarian and vegan, offering nutritious, homestyle cooking.

We celebrate seasonal and sustainable produce, using surplus from City Harvest, as well as fresh herbs, salads and greens grown at Loughborough Farm. Dishes are always colourful and vibrant, reflecting the diverse food cultures of Loughborough Junction.

London-based supplier Galeta Bakery delivers us fresh sourdough bread and pastries each morning, and our coffee is supplied by Old Spike, a speciality coffee roastery and social enterprise supporting people affected by homelessness, based over the road at LJ Works.

You can also find homemade kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi in our display fridge, made by local farm volunteer Fermenting Joy.

Vegan and gluten-free options are available.

We aim for zero waste and compost our peelings at Loughborough Farm, as part of a circular economy.

We also provide a catering service: anything from breakfast meetings to office lunches to weddings and parties. Our offer includes healthy lunches, sharing platters and buffets, canapes and celebration cakes.
