"Reducing what we waste is a longstanding ambition for us and, after the year our industry has had, it’s never felt more important to put our money where our mouth is.
"We know that working with Too Good To Go, who have helped so many brands reduce their impact in this way, is the perfect next step for us on this journey. We are really excited to launch the surplus programme as we reopen our restaurants and delis across the UK.”
Too Good To Go lets people buy surplus food and drink from restaurants, grocery stores, pubs and producers to stop it from going to waste.
