Birmingham City centre based, Pan-Asian noodle bar chain, Chop and Wok, have struck a successful partnership with local charity Let’s Feed Brum, donating 30 freshly cooked meals on a weekly basis.
Chop and Wok, located on Suffolk Street have been assisting Let’s Feed Brum since its conception in 2015. The Charity provides food, drink, essential supplies & friendship to those living on the streets of Birmingham. With 10 million tonnes of food being thrown away every year in the UK, Let’s Feed Brum brings Birmingham’s cafés, bars and restaurants together to help feed people in these unfortunate circumstances.
Every Saturday evening for the past 5 years Chop and Wok have been preparing, cooking and delivering 30 meals to the Charity. These actions have been particularly meaningful for the team at Chop and Wok as the owners of the branch are themselves, Birmingham born and bred.
Ben Rafiqi – Let’s Feed Brum – ‘We are truly grateful for Chop and Wok’s donations. These hot meals on cold nights gives a person on the streets hope and reassurance that they have not been forgotten about by society.
Chop and Wok is one of Birmingham’s most exciting eateries. It is a Pan-Asian wok-based takeaway and restaurant set in a modern and conceptual environment, with an Asian fusion menu, cooked in a live 'food theatre' where all is visible, served in a striking electric-coloured customer area. It appeals to both lunchtime and evening diners, and encompasses Chinese, Thai, Malay, Japanese and Indian flavours.
Andy Dulay – Chop and Wok – ‘We've worked on and off with LFB for some years now and it was by chance during lockdown that Ben and I reconnected. It's been an absolute pleasure providing the meals knowing that someone, somewhere is getting a hot meal for the night. I hope and look forward to being able to provide more hands-on help in the months to come. Keep up the humble work Ben and the LFB team!'
