ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT COMMUNITY LUNCH. Pull up a chair and join us around a shared table where Ukrainian food, culture & conversation bring people

Borshch Time is more than just a lunch — it’s cultural exchange, care and a sense of community. It is also an opportunity for us, as Ukrainians, to share our hospitality in gratitude for the kindness and support we have received from people across the UK.

At Borshch Time, food is not simply served — it is shared. It brings people together across cultures, languages and experiences.

Many guests return again and again — thank you for helping this community grow.

Organised by Ukraine Time

In partnership with Convoy4Ukraine (UK Charity No. 1211075)
