We take over the kitchen for a night. The first two nights are a free trial, then £48 a night if you want to keep it going, and the pub keeps 100% of the bar.

Our why
382k Reasons
I’ve experienced homelessness. I know what it’s like, and I can’t ignore what I saw out there.
Around 382,000 people in the UK are experiencing homelessness right now. That’s 382k reasons to do something, so I started Jefes Ramen.
Buy 1 Give 1. Every bowl you buy funds a matching meal, handed out through local charities. The first matching meals are coming soon, and your bowl is what gets them going.
