“The team at The Plough in Longparish are absolutely delighted to have received a donation of really excellent kitchen equipment from MCFT for our new trade kitchen. Saving the Plough has been a labour of love and, of course, we’ve had to keep a tight rein on the budget, so to receive a donation of kitchen equipment of this quality has given us an enormous boost. We are extremely grateful. Thanks so much to everyone at MCFT.”

Andy Jolliffe,

Longparish Community Pub Ltd

As a Food Equipment Service supplier dedicated to helping their community, we often come across second-hand equipment that’s too good to scrap and immediately begin looking for good causes that could do with a helping hand.

Through our Pre-Loved programme, equipment recovered from customers in reasonable condition is refurbished by our apprentices, developing their hands-on technical skills while supporting a more sustainable industry.

All equipment is in working, tested condition – some may even be near new. Once restored, these items are rehomed  to local community causes, across the UK such as soup kitchens, sports clubs, village shops and pubs.

Less waste, stronger communities, and invaluable learning experiences for our apprentices.

"Our Pre-loved Programme – which is equipment recovered from customers in reasonable condition, brought back to the Academy where our apprentices work to repair and refurbish the equipment before, working with Plunkett UK, passing these on to community causes – soup kitchens, sports clubs, village shops and pubs.”
