This week’s food and drink news features a film screening, a brand new creative space for Chapel Street, and the return of one of the city’s top wine fairs…

The Wonder Inn hosts Just Eat It screening
The Real Junk Food Project is currently building a whole restaurant in Shudehill’s The Wonder Inn made entirely from donated, up-cycled parts. But in the meantime, the organisation this week hosts the first Manchester screening of Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story, a documentary investigating food waste in the UK, USA, and Canada. The event also includes an introduction about the film and Real Junk Food, plus a post-screening discussion. Drinks will be available beforehand.

Chapel Street welcomes Honest Coffee
The slow but steady regeneration of Salford’s Chapel Street continues with the recent addition of Honest Coffee. The co-working space and artisan coffee shop – funded by a Kickstarter campaign, plus a grant from the Royal Society of Arts and Future Artists – is situated opposite Sacred Trinity church, a few minutes from Deansgate. As well as serving locally sourced seasonal food and locally roasted coffee, Honest Coffee is also available to hire out – with bookings completely free during its current trial period, which ends in October.
Honest Coffee, 77-79 Chapel Street, Salford, M35BZ, Mon – Fri 7am – 8pm, Sat 10am – 6pm, Sun 10am – 5pm, @honest_coffee
