Spud-Buddies is Re-Instates latest project to take healthy food to the local community. After launching Spud-Buddies at our open day in April, the potatoes hits the road at the Erith Kitchen event on May 17th. Lovely to see friends, family and supporters of Re-Instate turning up to enjoy a tasty spud, and we are expecting even more visitors at the next event on Friday 14th June between 4 – 9 PM will be in Pier Road, Erith (near Morrisions). As well as Spud-Buddies, there will be food stalls from all over the world, a bar and live music.
