APSE Roundtable – The Public Plate
About the roundtable
From high streets to campuses, Public Restaurants are a proposed new commercially operated infrastructure that could redefine how we eat outside the home.
Large, welcoming dining halls: affordable, nutritious, and woven into daily life, designed to make social connection a public habit. A Public Restaurant could be to our social networks
what public leisure centres are to sport and recreation: through a partnership model they widen access to eating out of the home meaning we spend more time in the company of others. Like sport and fitness, connection needs repetition.
The Public Plate model draws on the operational strengths of today’s most successful scaled hospitality formats and re-engineers them around a civic purpose.
The session will feature a presentation from Carly Trisk-Grove from The Public Plate. The session is for officers and elected members to who want to test, challenge, and shape the model, and explore whether Public Restaurants could play a role in strengthening social connection, population diets, local economies, and food resilience in their communities.
The event is FREE to attend for APSE Members
